An Experimental Mathematics Approach to the Area Statistic of Parking Functions

Abstract

We illustrate the experimental, empirical, approach to mathematics (that contrary to popular belief, is often rigorous), by using parking functions and their "area" statistic, as a case study. Our methods are purely finitistic and elementary, taking full advantage, of course, of our beloved silicon servants.
