Exploratory experimentation in mathematics: Selected works
David H. Bailey, Jonathan Michael Borwein · 2012
The authors --- pioneers in their field --- have collaborated on the subject of experimental mathematics for a quarter of a century. The book collects sixteen articles written together or separately and with coauthors. These works reflect their work on and their views about the changing face of computer-assisted high-performance mathematics. ~ cover info In the field of experimental mathematics, one discovers truths in much the same way that new particles can b e discovered in a physics laboratory; or in the manner by which DNA was discovered... to be of helical structure.... Bailey & Borwein show how to use numerical tools and intuition to bear mathematical fruit. ~ Richard E. Crandall
