Abstract

This chapter is devoted to discussions about the nature of experiments in mathematics during the formative period of experimental mathematics and to a quantitative and qualitative analysis of the journal Experimental Mathematics founded in 1992. Particular attention is paid to interpret the roles of experiment and observation in the mathematical practices surrounding Experimental Mathematics.
