| Abstract: | In part 1 [1] of this work we showed how modern mathematicalresearch could, with a suitably chosen problem, be includedin the first year curriculum of undergraduate mathematicians.With the use of Computer Algebra Systems, even the average undergraduatemathematician can aspire to discover interesting yet still unexplainedbehaviour in many areas of mathematics. Of course, interestingresults still need a true expert to furnish proofs. This articlecontinues the exploration of the so-called Buffon puzzle anddemonstrates how it can be made accessible to undergraduates.Part 1 dealt with material delivered in lectures 112.In part 2, we describe work that can be carried out in lectures1324. |
