Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

This volume is the hardcopy version of the electronic manuscript, ""Proceedings of the Organic Mathematics Workshop"" held at Simon Fraser University in December 1995. The book provides a fixed, easily referenced, and permanent version of what is otherwise an evolving document. Contained in this work is a collection of articles on experimental and computational mathematics contributed by leading mathematicians around the world. The papers span a variety of mathematical fields - from juggling to differential equations to prime number theory. The book also contains biographies and photos of the contributing mathematicians and an in-depth characterization of organic mathematics.

Includes bibliographical references.
