Experimental Mathematics

Journal Title：Experimental Mathematics

Experimental Mathematics publishes original papers featuring formal results inspired by experimentation, conjectures suggested by experiments, and data supporting significant hypotheses.

Experiment has always been, and increasingly is, an important method of mathematical discovery. (Gauss declared that his way of arriving at mathematical truths was "through systematic experimentation.") Yet this tends to be concealed by the tradition of presenting only elegant, fully developed, and rigorous results.

Experimental Mathematics was founded in the belief that theory and experiment feed on each other, and that the mathematical community stands to benefit from a more complete exposure to the experimental process. The early sharing of insights increases the possibility that they will lead to theorems: An interesting conjecture is often formulated by a researcher who lacks the techniques to formalize a proof, while those who have the techniques at their fingertips have been looking elsewhere. Even when the person who had the initial insight goes on to find a proof, a discussion of the heuristic process can be of help, or at least of interest, to other researchers. There is value not only in the discovery itself, but also in the road that leads to it.

《实验数学》发表原创论文，其中包含受实验启发的正式结果、实验提出的猜想以及支持重要假设的数据。

实验一直是并且越来越多地成为数学发现的重要方法。 （高斯宣称他得出数学真理的方法是“通过系统的实验”。）然而，这往往被只呈现优雅、充分发展和严格结果的传统所掩盖。

实验数学的成立是基于这样一种信念，即理论和实验相辅相成，并且数学界将从更完整地接触实验过程中受益。见解的早期分享增加了它们导致定理的可能性：一个有趣的猜想通常由缺乏正式化证明的技术的研究人员提出，而那些触手可及的技术则一直在寻找其他地方。即使有初步洞察力的人继续寻找证据，对启发式过程的讨论也会对其他研究人员有所帮助，或者至少会引起他们的兴趣。有价值的不仅在于发现本身，还在于通往它的道路。

Experimental Mathematics由Taylor and Francis Ltd.出版商出版，收稿方向涵盖数学 - 数学全领域，此刊是中等级别的SCI期刊，所以过审相对来讲不是特别难，但是该刊专业认可度不错，仍然是一本值得选择的SCI期刊 。平均审稿速度>12周，或约稿，影响因子指数0.84，该期刊近期没有被列入国际期刊预警名单，广大学者值得一试。
