That's strange. In my field bell-shaped curves means any curve that is centered on one specific point, stricly monotonous for x<0 and x>0, positiv, and with a finite maximum. For instance a Lorentzian is a bell-shaped curve. This shows that you can easily get strong miss-comprehension between fields.
