Features: This book can be used as a teaching material for the university physics course for undergraduate and junior college students in engineering disciplines across the country, and can also be referenced by various engineering technicians and students in ordinary higher education institutions. This book is a planned teaching material for adult higher education organized and compiled by the Department of Higher Education, Ministry of Education, and is written according to the "Basic Requirements for Teaching of University Physics in Adult Higher Education" issued by the Ministry of Education in 1998. The book is divided into five parts: Mechanics, Fundamentals of Thermodynamics, Electromagnetism, Wave Physics, and Fundamentals of Modern Physics. To enhance students' scientific literacy and adapt to the needs of high-tech development in the 21st century, the book includes 10 reading materials introducing contemporary frontiers in physics. During the compilation process, the book fully considers the characteristics of adult learning and adheres to the principles of "less is more" and "theory connected with practice." The explanations of fundamental concepts and theories are clear, detailed, and progressive; general content is briefly introduced, primarily clarifying the physical ideas and important conclusions. The mathematical derivations in the book are simplified, focusing on cultivating students' ability to use mathematical tools to solve physics problems.
