Mathematics by Experiment : Plausible Reasoning in the 21st Century
Jonathan Borwein (Author), David Bailey (Author)
Annotation This new approach to mathematics--the utilization of advanced computing technology in mathematical research--is often called experimental mathematics. The computer provides the mathematician with a "laboratory" in which she can perform experiments--analyzing examples, testing out new ideas, or searching for patterns. This book presents the rationale and historical context of experimental mathematics, and includes a series of examples that best portray the experimental methodology. For more examples and insights, the book, "Experimentation in Mathematics: Computational Paths to Discovery" is a highly recommended companion
