Jonathan Borwein: Experimental Mathematician

نویسنده

  • David H. Bailey
چکیده

Jonathan M. Borwein unexpectedly died on 2 August 2016, in London, Ontario, Canada, where he had been visiting on leave from home institution, the University of Newcastle, Australia. Since his death, the present author and Nelson H. F. Beebe of the University of Utah have been collecting Borwein’s many published papers, books, reports and talks, as well as a number of articles written by others (such as book reviews) about Jon and his work. Our current catalog (available at http://www.jonborwein.org/jmbpapers/) lists 1745 items, and the list is certain to grow further. This includes over 500 published books, journal articles and refereed conference papers, a prodigious output for any scholar and especially for a research mathematician. And in an era when many mathematicians focus on a single specialty or subspecialty, Borwein did significant research in a wide range of fields, ranging from analytic number theory and optimization to biomedical imaging, mathematical finance and, especially, experimental mathematics, where he was arguably the world’s leader.

If my teachers had begun by telling me that mathematics was pure play with presuppositions, and wholly in the air, I might have become a good mathematician, because I am happy enough in the realm of essence. But they were over-worked drudges, and I was largely inattentive, and inclined lazily to attribute to incapacity in myself or to a literary temperament that dullness which perhaps was due s...

Experimental Determination of Apéry-like Identities for ς(2n + 2)

We document the discovery of two generating functions for ζ(2n + 2), analogous to earlier work for ζ(2n + 1) and ζ(4n + 3), initiated by Koecher and pursued further by Borwein, Bradley and others.
