Book Description
New mathematical insights and rigorous results are often gained through extensive experimentation using numerical examples or graphical images and analyzing them. Today computer experiments are an integral part of doing mathematics. This allows for a more systematic approach to conducting and replicating experiments.
The authors address the role of experimental research in the statement of new hypotheses and the discovery of new results that chart the road to future developments.
Following the lead of Mathematics by Experiment: Plausible Reasoning in the 21st Centur", this book gives numerous additional case studies of experimental mathematics in action, ranging from sequences, series, products, integrals, Fourier series, zeta functions, partitions, primes and polynomials.
Some advanced numerical techniques are also presented.
