While your comment (“let's introduce this elementary mathematics to the illiterate masses by writing it as a Python script. Now everyone will understand it”) may apply to some articles, what relevance does it have on this one? This article is fundamentally about how, starting even with a set of random numbers, simply visualizing it can lead to further explorations that can be carried out again with computers — sure you could replace “Matplotlib and Python” with “a graphing library and a programming language”, but fundamentally the article is not trying to teach any elementary mathematics and in fact it does not even reach the point of proving any theorems (for that matter despite a fair bit of trying I haven't actually figured out yet how to prove the conjecture the article ends with); it's just about the process of exploration (generating hypotheses, verifying them, etc) using computers.
