The Computer as Crucible: An Introduction to Experimental Mathematics
نویسندگان
چکیده
The sleuth-like style and lucid writing certainly make this book an enjoyable read. Many explanations are framed by relevant historical context and tales of mathematicians whose use of experimental mathematics helped them gain insights into difficult problems. Although it was never intended to be a course textbook, it could be used as a supplementary text. Many of the chapters are short, and should be viewed as aperitifs.

متن کاملThe Effect of Computer-oriented Working Memory learning on Improving Problem Solving Skills of Students with Problem Solving Difficulties in Mathematics
The purpose of this research is to determine the effects of cognitive training using software programs on improving the performance of students' skills in solving the mathematical problems. The method of this research was semi-experimental with using pre-test post-tests and control group. For this purpose, first by random multi-stage cluster, 180 male students of fourth-grade were selected, the...
متن کاملThree-dimensional stability calculations for hydrodynamic model of Czochralski growth
Preliminary results obtained by a code aimed to the analysis of three-dimensional (3D) instability of axisymmetric melt flows in Czochralski crucible are described. The CPU time and the computer memory necessary for the comprehensive 3D stability analysis by a second-order finite volume method are estimated. Basing on a certain experimental configuration, we give an example of the stability dia...
متن کاملAnalytical aspects of the interval unilateral quadratic matrix equations and their united solution sets
This paper introduces the emph{interval unilateral quadratic matrix equation}, $IUQe$ and attempts to find various analytical results on its AE-solution sets in which $A,B$ and $CCC$ are known real interval matrices, while $X$ is an unknown matrix. These results are derived from a generalization of some results of Shary. We also give sufficient conditions for non-emptiness of some quasi-solutio...
متن کاملExploratory Experimentation and Computation 1. Exploratory Experimentation
I believe our research community is facing a great challenge to re-evaluate the role of proof in light of the growing power of current computer systems, of modern mathematical computing packages, and of the growing capacity to data-mine on the Internet. Add to that the enormous complexity of many modern capstone results such as the Poincaré conjecture, Fermat's last theorem, and the Classificat...
