On a physics newsgroup, the following was written:
"Recently a mathematician submitted a classic problem
to Mathematica, one thought to have no closed-form
solution. After churning away for eight hours, the
program created a publishable result. When he
published the result, the mathematician in question
courageously admitted how he acquired it."
I personally asked the author for documentation of this, but he
was unable to recall the source. Does anyone have some facts
about this, or about a similar use of Mathematica?
