Media Reviews

"... experimental mathematics is here to stay. The reader who wants to get an introduction to this exciting approach to doing mathematics can do no better than [this book]." - Notices of the AMS "Let me cut to the chase: every mathematics library requires a copy of this book.... Every supervisor of higher degree students requires a copy on their shelf. Welcome to the rich world of computer-supported mathematics!" - Mathematical Reviews "These are such fun books to read!... You are going to learn more math (experimental or otherwise) than you ever did from any two single volumes. Not only that, you will learn by osmosis how to become an experimental mathematician." - American Scientist"
