Overview: John Taine, the pseudonym of Eric Temple Bell, was born in Peterhead, Aberdeen, Scotland on February 7, 1883; but his father, relocated to San Jose, California, in 1884, when he was fifteen months old. The family returned to Bedford, England, after his father’s death, on January 4, 1896. Bell returned to the United States, by way of Montreal, in 1902.
He wrote several science fiction novels, which independently invented some of the earliest devices and ideas of science fiction. Only the novel The Purple Sapphire was published at the time, using the pseudonym John Taine; this was before Hugo Gernsback and the genre publication of science fiction. His novels were published later, both in book form and serialised in magazines.
His book on Fermat’s Last Theorem, The Last Problem, was published the year after his death and is a hybrid of social history and the history of mathematics.
Eric Temple Bell died on December 21, 1960 in Watsonville, California.
