Opportunities and Challenges in 21st Century Experimental Mathematical Computation: ICERM Workshop Report
نویسندگان
چکیده
“Experimental mathematics” has emerged in the past 25 years or so to become a competitive paradigm for research in the mathematical sciences. A workshop held at the Institute for Computational and Experimental Research in Mathematics (ICERM), July 21–25, 2014, explored emerging challenges of experimental mathematics in the rapidly changing era of modern computer technology. This report summarizes the workshop findings. So what exactly is “experimental mathematics”? While several definitions have been offered (e.g., [8]), perhaps the most succinct definition is given in the Borwein-Devlin book The Computer as Crucible:

This document is an almost-verbatim conversion to LTEX and PDF of plain-text remarks distributed via e-mail to the ICERM report authors. However, to improve readability, I have dressed it up with color, live hyperlinks, and multiple fonts, and fixed my fumble-fingered typos. It is available at http://www.math.utah.edu/~beebe/icerm/ICERM-2014-NOTES.pdf. I have also given it a version number, sta...
متن کاملOpportunities and Challenges in 21st Century Mathematical Computation: ICERM Workshop Report
Here we should distinguish “experimental mathematics” from “computational mathematics” and “numerical mathematics.” While there is no clear delineation, the latter two terms generally encompass computational methods for concrete applied mathematics and engineering applications, whereas “experimental mathematics” usually applies more specifically to computations that advance the state of the art...
متن کاملEvidence-based toxicology for the 21st century: opportunities and challenges.
The Evidence-based Toxicology Collaboration (EBTC) was established recently to translate evidence-based approaches from medicine and health care to toxicology in an organized and sustained effort. The EBTC held a workshop on "Evidence-based Toxicology for the 21st Century: Opportunities and Challenges" in Research Triangle Park, North Carolina, USA on January 24-25, 2012. The presentations larg...
متن کاملSetting the Default to Reproducible Reproducibility in Computational and Experimental Mathematics Developed collaboratively by the ICERM workshop participants1 Compiled and edited by the Organizers
Science is built upon foundations of theory and experiment validated and improved through open, transparent communication. With the increasingly central role of computation in scientific discovery this means communicating all details of the computations needed for others to replicate the experiment, i.e. making available to others the associated data and code. The “reproducible research” moveme...
