Mathematics by experiment

This new approach to mathematics - the utilization of advanced computing technology in mathematical research - is often called experimental mathematics. The computer provides the mathematician with a "laboratory" in which she can perform experiments - analyzing examples, testing out new ideas, or searching for patterns.
This book presents the rationale and historical context of experimental mathematics, and includes a series of examples that best portray the experimental methodology.
