A friendly introduction to

Experimental Mathematics



With the aid of computers, mathematical experimentation is undergoing an unprecedented development, which is defining new ways of doing mathematical research. This course is intended to give pre-university students a taste of this exciting new trend. Using state of the art computer algebra software, the students will be invited to explore some mathematical phenomena, to make a synthesis of the results, and to formulate precise conjectures. No previous computing experience is necessary.
