[FOM] Computational Discovery/Experimental Mathematics

[martdowd at aol.com]

 Computers have been widely used in combinatorics.  A web search on "computational combinatorics" finds several references of interest, in particular
  http://digitalcommons.unl.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1031&context=mathstudent

Here's an example I'm currently working on,  I want to find a 4x4 matrix of entries from S3 with certain properties, and try to generalize it to nxn.  I've just found that there are a million of them, so the problem has become a "needle in a haystack" problem.  Computer experiments can be performed, looking for ones with additional properties.  It's not a priori clear whether these would be the best ones for generalizing.

I think the FOM readers would appreciate some basic discussion and/or
friendly links to give us a better idea as to some principal
developments in these areas that led to this meeting.
