Features: This book is revised based on the General Physics (3rd Edition) edited by Cheng Shouzi and Jiang Zhiyong. It aligns with the fundamental teaching requirements for undergraduate university physics courses in engineering disciplines, as promulgated by the State Education Commission in 1995, and incorporates suggestions and feedback from long-term users of the book, as well as the latest trends in physics textbook reform both domestically and internationally. This revision retains the structure, style, and features of the 3rd edition while rewriting some content, adjusting certain chapters, adding reading materials, and enriching applied problems. It further enhances modernization of content, strengthens practical application, broadens knowledge coverage, and improves scientific literacy. The book can serve as a textbook for physics courses in higher vocational and technical colleges across various disciplines, as well as a reference for physics teaching in adult universities.
