Here is the complete list of the ten sample problems of experimental mathematics, as given in [1], together with answers and references. The introductory material on the
Introduction. Recent years have seen the flowering of “experi-mental” mathematics, namely the utilization of modern computer technology as an active tool in mathematical research. This development is not. David H. Bailey is at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, Berkeley, CA 94720.

Definition Of Experiment In Math: The Computer as Crucible Jonathan Borwein,Keith Devlin,2008-10-28 Keith Devlin and Jonathan Borwein two well known mathematicians with expertise in different mathematical specialties but with a common interest in experimentation in
share some similarities and overlap in certain topics. To this end, Borwein and Bailey give an accurate working definition of experimental mathematics in [BB]: Experimental mathematics is the methodology of doing mathematics that includes the use of computations for: 1. Gaining insight and intuition. 2. Discovering new patterns and ...
To illustrate the game, let’s look at two basic tools of experimental mathematics: sequence recog-nition and real number recognition. Sequence recognition comes in handy when we are given a sequence (a(n))n 1 defined by a ≥ summation formula and we want to find a simpler expression for it, perhaps in “closed form”.
Nov 4, 2023 · The chapter is rich in examples illustrating their varied use of thought-experiments in mathematics. They range from simple examples such as the mutilated check-board to examples of how thought-examples play a role in contemporary mathematics.
