Abstract

[In this paper, the recent emergence of a professed “experimental” culture in mathematics during the past three decades is analysed based on an adaptation of Hans-Jörg Rheinberger’s notion of “experimental systems” that mesh into experimental cultures. In so doing, I approach the question of how distinct mathematical cultures can coexist and blend into a common understanding that allows for cultural convergence while preserving heterogeneity.]
