Exploratory experimentation and computation

From MaRDI portal





``The computer offers scaffolding both to enhance mathematical reasoning [\dots] and to restrain mathematical error. This sentence is the essence of the article under review. The authors give a number of supporting examples: evaluation of polylogarithms, partitions, rapidly-converging series and algorithms for \(\pi\), Giuga's conjecture, and Hales' proof of Kepler's conjecture. They also address the limits and pitfalls of the experimental approach.
