Features: This series of textbooks is primarily intended for use in university-wide elective courses, targeting general undergraduate students. Fully considering the characteristics of "general education," it is not simply a condensed version of specialized professional courses, but it also differs from the usual popular science literature available in the market. This series of textbooks meets the basic requirements of teaching, emphasizing relative stability of knowledge, a certain degree of systematic organization, clear focus, and well-defined sections. It is presented in an accessible yet profound manner, appropriately touching upon the forefront of the discipline to spark interdisciplinary thinking and learning interest among students from different fields. The content and format of this series of textbooks are fully considered in light of the characteristics of general education courses. We recognize that since general education is a course, it cannot be equated with a general lecture; it must have a certain knowledge system, a relatively independent scope of disciplines, and a degree of professionalism.
