Abstract
We derive an explicit formula for the Bernoulli numbers in terms of Stirling numbers of the second kind. To the best of our knowledge, the formula is new. Additionally, we recover two more explicit formulas from this formula expressing the Bernoulli numbers in terms of Stirling numbers of the second kind.
