German edition of The Computer as Crucible

A German translation of The Computer as Crucible, which was co-authored by one of the present bloggers, has been published by Springer-Verlag. Here is a synopsis of the English edition:

Keith Devlin and Jonathan Borwein, two well-known mathematicians with expertise in different mathematical specialties but with a common interest in experimentation in mathematics, have joined forces to create this introduction to experimental mathematics. They cover a variety of topics and examples to give the reader a good sense of the current state of play in the rapidly growing new field of experimental mathematics. The writing is clear and the explanations are enhanced by relevant historical facts and stories of mathematicians and their encounters with the field over time.
