Abstract
The authors have been using a largely algebraic form of ``computational discovery'' in various undergraduate classes at their respective institutions for some decades now to teach pure mathematics, applied mathematics, and computational mathematics. This paper describes what we mean by ``computational discovery,'' what good it does for the students, and some specific techniques that we used.
