Exploratory experimentation in mathematics: Selected Works

A collection of computational endeavor and discovery

ISBN: 978193563824-7

David H. Bailey and Jonathan M. Borwein have collaborated on the subject of experimental mathematics for a quarter of a century. This book collects sixteen articles written together or separately and with coauthors. These works reflect Bailey and Borwein’s work on and their views about the changing face of computer-assisted “high-performance” mathematics.

Reviews:

“Refreshing always it is to have in hand a book by the pioneers of a given field. David Bailey and Jonathan Borwein have together—and along with illustrious colleagues—built the field of experimental mathematics. In this field one discovers truths in much the same way that new particles can be discovered in a physics laboratory; or in the manner by which DNA was discovered in 1953 to be of helical structure, on the basis of ball-stick models and x-ray data. Whereas Crick and Watson made hay out of their models, and Wilkinson serendipitously interpreted his data, so, too, Bailey and Borwein show how to use numerical tools and intuition to bear mathematical fruit.”
