Features: This book is closely aligned with the "Basic Requirements for Physics Teaching in Non-Physics Majors of Higher Education Institutions." It is written by a team of frontline university physics teachers with extensive experience in teaching. Accompanying the book is an electronic teaching plan CD-ROM and a teaching reference book. During the writing process, extensive research was conducted on the teaching reform situations and cultivation models of non-physics undergraduate majors and higher vocational education majors, making it suitable for modern teaching needs. The content is carefully selected and organized by compressing classical physics, simplifying modern physics, and highlighting key points. It incorporates modern perspectives and information into classical physics, moderately introduces the achievements of modern physics, and explores the connection between physics and new technologies. The book consists of 13 chapters, covering mechanics, thermodynamics, electromagnetism, vibrations and waves, wave optics, special relativity, and quantum physics fundamentals. Each chapter includes brief introductions to relevant famous physicists, basic content, reading materials, chapter summaries, and exercises. This book can serve as a physics textbook for higher vocational education majors and also for non-physics majors in universities and colleges.
