Abstract
Experimental mathematics is a newly developed approach to discovering mathematical truths through the use of computers. In this paper, we look at how these techniques can be applied to help solve six problems that have appeared in the Problems section of the MONTHLY. The paper has examples of constant recognition, sequence recognition, and integer relation detection.
