  • Video links go directly to the YouTube video.
  • JTF (Just the Facts) videos are the streamlined versions: greenscreen LaTeX equations, clean graphics, minimal narrative. Think efficient and to the point. Each has a companion TFS video.
  • TFS (The Full Story) videos include interviews, additional explanation, and equations written on whiteboards. Same math, more context, more personality. Each has a matching JTF version.
  • Info Page links lead to definitions, expanded explanations, and related material—because sometimes you really do need to explain it.
  • Visuals links contain the greenscreen or whiteboard materials used in the video, for those who like to see the scaffolding.
  • Wondering about the titles? See Appendix B: If you have to explain it, it’s no longer funny.
  • Videos marked This is NOT a DOFPro video were not produced by DOFPro but are included because they are relevant to the topic. They are shown in red so no one calls the academic integrity police.
