Abstract
The classical solution to the Secretary Problem is based on the combinatorics, or on probability calculus. This paper offers several solutions based on experimental mathematics, indicating the characteristics of each of them. Through simulation, classical solutions are observed more or less. A new recursive formula for the search for exact solutions is induced, and validated with the classical solutions. By linear models, solutions are estimated very efficiently
