Jonathan Borwein(1951-2016) a PiONEER of Experimental Mathematics (Videtaped Lecture)
By Doron Zeilberger
Delivered Sept. 15, 2016
Videotaped lecture:
Abstract:
The world's undisputed leader in Experimental Mathematics, Jonathan Borwein, died suddenly on Aug. 1, 2016, thereby depriving us of so much potential great math that he would have done, if he did not die so young. Hence it is our duty to study his universal message and try to follow the many paths that he opened-up.
[This lecture was delivered on Sept. 15, 2016, at the Rutgers University Experimental Mathematics seminar
organized by Nathan Fox and Doron Zeilberger.]

three new sequences for the OEIS. It was generated by running the
