These proceedings reflect the special session on Experimental Mathematics
held January 5, 2009, at the Joint Mathematics Meetings in Washington, DC as
well as some papers specially solicited for this volume.
Experimental Mathematics is a recently structured field of Mathematics that
uses the computer and advanced computing technology as a tool to perform
experiments. These include the analysis of examples, testing of new ideas,
and the search of patterns to suggest results and to complement existing
analytical rigor.
The development of a broad spectrum of mathematical software
products, such as Mathematica® and Maple™,
has allowed mathematicians of diverse backgrounds and interests to use
the computer as an essential tool as part of their daily work
environment.
This volume reflects a wide range of topics related to the young field of
Experimental Mathematics. The use of computation varies from aiming to
exclude human input in the solution of a problem to traditional mathematical
questions for which computation is a prominent tool.
Readership
Graduate students and research mathematicians interested in computational aspects of mathematics.
