Physics Bowl Complete Knowledge Mind Map Series

With a few unusual exceptions, more than 95% of the content tested across Physics Bowl D1 and D2 is covered in this mind map series.

Each map in the series is structured around the same six sections:

• Overview: Approximate number of questions in this topic area; difficulty level.
• Introduction: Brief orientation to the topic.
• Key Concepts: The specific concepts and their corresponding formulas.
• Question Types: The forms Physics Bowl uses to test this topic, and common traps.
• Skills: The technical skills required to understand and solve problems in this area.
• Study Tips: Practical suggestions for learning this material efficiently.

The full series is on GitHub — SVG, HTML (hi-res lossless), and Markdown source formats all available:

Why a mind map series

Physics Bowl study material has always been scattered — problem sets and topic summaries exist, but a systematic, knowledge-point-first organisation in mind map form is rare. The goal of this series is to answer the question "where does this concept live in the syllabus?" rather than just "how many problems have I done?"

D1 is broadly manageable; D2 has some harder problems, but 95% of the content sits within standard pre-university physics. With systematic coverage in hand, preparation becomes considerably more efficient.
