Here are the slides used for the course Efficient experimental
mathematics for combinatorics and number theory, given at the Vienna
Summer School of Mathematics in Weissensee, Austria, September
23–27, 2019:
- Lecture 1: Context, Motivation, Examples.
- Problem session 1.
- Lecture 2: Experimental Mathematics for Combinatorics.
- Lecture 3: Inside the Experimental Math. Toolbox.
- Problem session 2.
Here
is some documentation on the gfun package.
And here
is some documentation on a guessing package for Mathematica.
