Editorial Reviews
Review
Experimental mathematics has not only come of age but is quickly maturing, as this book shows so clearly. The authors display a vast range of mathematical understanding and connection while at the same time delineating various ways in which experimental mathematics is and can be undertaken, with startling effect --Prof. John Mason, Open University and University of Oxford
Computing is to mathematics as telescope is to astronomy: it might not explain things, but it certainly shows what's out there. The authors are expert in the discovery of new mathematical planets, and this book is a beautifully written exposé of their values, their methods, their subject, and their enthusiasm about it. A must read. --Prof. Herbert S. Wilf, author of generatingfunctionology
From within the ideological blizzard of the young field of Experimental Mathematics comes this tremendous, clarifying book. The authors all experts convey this complex new subject in the best way possible; namely, by fine example. Let me put it this way: Discovering this book is akin to finding an emerald in a snowdrift. --Richard E. Crandall, Apple Distinguished Scientist, Apple, Inc.

Product Description
The last twenty years have been witness to a fundamental shift in the way mathematics is practiced. With the continued advance of computing power and accessibility, the view that real mathematicians don't compute no longer has any traction for a newer generation of mathematicians that can really take advantage of computer-aided research, especially given the scope and availability of modern computational packages such as Maple, Mathematica, and MATLAB. The authors provide a coherent variety of accessible examples of modern mathematics subjects in which intelligent computing plays a significant role.
