About the author

Søren Eilers is a professor of mathematics at the University of Copenhagen who heads the VILLUM Foundation Network for Experimental Mathematics in Number Theory, Operator Algebras, and Topology. He has received numerous teaching prizes as well as an outreach prize for developing the mathematics of LEGO, and is an expert of the classification of C*-algebras.Rune Johansen was the first postdoc in experimental mathematics in Denmark, specializing in symbolic dynamics.

Summary

A recent surge in computer-based experimental approaches to pure mathematics is revolutionizing the way research mathematicians work. As the first of its kind, this textbook provides students with an introduction to the ends and means of experimental mathematics using the popular computer algebra system Maple.
