  "abstract": "We investigate the zonal polynomials, a family of symmetric polynomials that appear in many mathematical contexts, such as multivariate statistics, differential geometry, representation theory, and combinatorics. We present two computer algebra packages, in SageMath and in Mathematica, for their computation. With the help of these software packages, we carry out an experimental mathematics study of some properties of zonal polynomials. Moreover, we derive and prove closed forms for several infinite families of zonal polynomial coefficients.",
