Summary

In the short time since the first edition of Mathematics by Experiment: Plausible Reasoning in the 21st Century and Experimentation in Mathematics: Computational Paths to Discovery, there has been a noticeable upsurge in interest in using computers to do real mathematics. The authors have updated and enhanced the book files and are now making them available in PDF format on a CD-ROM. This CD provides several “smart” features, including hyperlinks for:

• all numbered equations
• all Internet URLs
• bibliographic references

and an augmented search facility assists one with locating a particular mathematical formula or expression. These enhancements significantly improve the usability of these files and the CD-ROM itself enhances the reader’s experience.

Read more about the original editions: “The two books are written in an inviting, conversational, unprepossessing style. They are fascinating as a vast collection of interesting facts, anecdotes, and examples about numbers, primes, polynomials, special functions, definite integrals, series summations, and especially PI.”
