Course Home

Sprinkled throughout the Exploding Dots materials are videos by Goldfish & Robin and friends explaining the various aspects of mathematics in beautiful and profound ways. I want these videos to be shared and well known in the world! They are truly tremendous. So I’ve featured them here in an easy-to-find and easy-to-see single spot.

Enjoy – and share!
