Abstract

In this talk, we will explain how computer-assisted proofs work, and how certain mathematical problems can be approached by such techniques. The problems we will discuss all come from the field of Dynamical Systems, and are easily stated in elementary mathematical terms. They are, however, not as easily solved, so there is still plenty of work to do! Some partial results will be presented together with a few conjectures and future directions of research.
