Dec 3, 2019 at 10:56 comment added mlk I'd argue that this is one of the standard routes in applied analysis. Usually some theoretical physicist proposes equations for some physical phenomenon, someone from numerics does some preliminary simulations, displaying some interesting or strange behaviour, which then lures in the theorists who try to analyze and prove this behaviour of the equations. I'm not sure if this is in the spirit of the question though.

Dec 3, 2019 at 0:50 comment added Joseph O'Rourke I'm unclear on whether the bias in the last digits of consecutive primes has been proven? If so, it would be a prime :-) example. Oliver, Robert J. Lemke, and Kannan Soundararajan. "Unexpected biases in the distribution of consecutive primes." Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences 113, no. 31 (2016): E4446-E4454.

Dec 3, 2019 at 0:32 comment added Mario Krenn Thanks for the comments, the book has an interesting philosophical introsection, sounds like quite a bit into the direction i am searching for. for instance, finding new identities which are then explained by mathematicians. Also thanks for the "Experimental Mathematics" journal. Mann's result is actually published there. I wondered whether there are some famouse examples, not only many small observations -- but some examples where these searches have lead/inspired to real important insights.

Dec 3, 2019 at 0:01 comment added R Hahn Do you know this book? amazon.com/Experimental-Mathematics-Action-David-Bailey/dp/… I think it exists specifically to answer this question. Borwein has two other similar books on the same theme, I'm not sure which is most advanced.
