Abstract: This paper investigates coefficients of cyclotomic polynomials theoretically and experimentally. We prove the following result. {{em If

n = p_{1} l d o t s p_{k}

where

p_{i}

are odd primes and

p_{1} < p_{2} < l d o t s < p_{r} < p_{1} + p_{2} < p_{r + 1} < l d o t s < p_{t}

with

t g e q 3

odd, then the numbers

- (r - 2), - (r - 3), l d o t s, r - 2, r - 1

are all coefficients of the cyclotomic polynomial

P h i_{2 n}

. Furthermore, if

1 + p_{r} < p_{1} + p_{2}

then

1 - r

is also a coefficient of

P h i_{2 n}

.} In the experimental part, in two instances we present computational evidence for asymptotic symmetry between distribution of positive and negative coefficients, and state the resulting conjectures.}
