Abstract: We promote the much maligned computational method. The computational method
is a paradigm for proving mathematical results where the burden of doing the \grunt
work" is given to our able research assistant, the computer. We assert that proofs
using the computational method, also known as computer aided proofs, are here to
stay. In fact, the use of a computer can make the analysis of complicated algorithms
fun. We illustrate the usefulness of the method by analyzing a randomized algorithm
for... (Update)

...are not so readily accepted. We present one viewpoint on computer assisted proofs, or what we call proofs via the computational method [13]. While one might expect pure mathematicians to be a bit leery of the computational method, one would hope that computer scientists would...
