Hello there! 👋
Physics isn’t just a collection of facts—it’s a framework for making sense of the world. When I first began teaching my daughter the basics of Physics, I never imagined it would one day set her on a path to UC Berkeley’s College of Engineering. That journey reminded me how far a solid conceptual foundation—and the right kind of guidance—can take a student.
These mind maps were created with that same spirit. They’re not just notes—they’re visual tools designed to help you connect the dots, see how concepts build on each other, and understand the "why" behind the formulas. Each map is a compact, big-picture guide to a key topic in Kinematics—perfect for visual learners, revision sessions, or those “I’m stuck” moments.
Whether you’re preparing for AP Physics, IIT JEE, Class 11–12, or just trying to deeply understand motion in Physics, let these maps be your shortcut to clarity and confidence.
Let’s turn confusion into insight—and make Physics visual, logical, and memorable.
