  • 25 April - Added a number of quizzes, linking them to explanation video, and some page modifications
  • 21 April   - As well as my usual videos that I release about once a month, I have added another 13 sample problems fora wide range of topics. 
  • 24 March   - Added quite a number of sample problems for a variety of topics, many of which can only be found here (I gradually release them on YT, but are uploaded here as soon as they are produced)
  • 15 February  - ( Worked hard to  embed videos in a structure similar to many international physics texts. You will see it will have the provision for resources, videos that will provide sample solutions, and the possibility of extension of ideas. Drop me a line if you wish to provide me feedback
