Abstract
Experimental mathematics is an experimental approach to mathematics in which programming and symbolic computation are used to investigate mathematical objects, identify properties and patterns, discover facts and formulas and even automatically prove theorems. With an experimental mathematics approach, this dissertation deals with several combinatorial problems and demonstrates the methodology of experimental mathematics. We start with parking functions and their moments of certain statistics. Then we discuss about spanning trees and "almost diagonal" matrices to illustrate the methodology of experimental mathematics. We also apply experimental mathematics to Quicksort algorithms to study the running time. Finally we talk about the interesting peaceable queens problem.
