Abstract: Abstract With the advent of personal computers, mathematicians and PC team up with each other in the scientific sphere, wherein one sheds light on the significance of the other. However, hitherto PC rarely appears in publications to meet with a fair share of identification, and even its unique contribution has only been flirted with. For this underrepresented minority case in academia, Shalosh B. Ekhad is duly credited with his remarks “the computer helps so much and so often” in sociocultural paradigms. With the pull of academic accession, this article examines the perduring dark story of the Zeilberger–Ekhad theorem with extensive visualizations. This scientometrical case study is expected to provide a unique opportunity to re-scrutinize the whole story, discourage bias in later accounts that may appear, and uncover some unfolded motivations in human–machine cooperation scenarios.
