Professor Borwein's lectures
Experimental (Computational) Mathematics - and Its Philosophical Implications

I aim to discuss Experimental Mathodology, its philosophy, history, current practice and proximate future, and using concrete accessible---entertaining I hope---examples, to explore implications for mathematics and for mathematical philosophy.*

“Thereby, to persuade you both of the power of mathematical experiment and that the traditional accounting of mathematical learning and research is largely an ahistorical caricature.”
