Features: This book was written within the framework of the teaching reform project "Research and Practice on the Curriculum Plan of University Physics for New Engineering," to meet the needs of teaching. The book is divided into 6 parts, totaling 16 chapters. Among them, Part Mechanics mainly covers dynamics and particle kinematics; Part Electromagnetism mainly discusses the electrostatic field in vacuum, the steady magnetic field in vacuum, and electromagnetic induction; Part III mainly covers mechanical waves, electromagnetic waves, wave optics, and waves and particles; Part Quantum Mechanics Basics mainly introduces wave functions and the Schr?dinger equation, operators and mechanical quantities, electron spin, multi-particle systems, and examples of quantum mechanics applications; Part Thermodynamics mainly discusses equilibrium state thermodynamics, basic non-equilibrium state thermodynamics, and the statistical theory of nearly independent subsystems; Part Relativity Principles mainly introduces the basics of special relativity. Compared to traditional engineering university physics textbooks, this book raises the starting point, avoids repetition with high school content, saves teaching hours, and incorporates more new content into the material. At the same time, it also pays attention to setting up more windows to facilitate easier connections with new areas of physics. A distinctive feature of this book is that it systematically incorporates mature and widely applied physical content such as non-quantum mechanics and the statistical theory of nearly independent subsystems into the curriculum. For readers with an engineering physics background who need a systematic study of quantum mechanics and statistical physics, this book serves as an appropriate introductory textbook. This book can be used as a undergraduate textbook for physics courses in universities, especially for engineering majors such as materials, chemical engineering, and metallurgy. It can also be used as a reference for postgraduate students in these fields.
