Features: This textbook is revised based on the "University Physics (New Edition)" edited by Professor Wu Baishi of Xi'an Jiaotong University. It adheres to the guiding principles of the original book, focusing on strengthening fundamental theories and cultivating students' abilities to analyze, solve problems, and independently acquire knowledge. Additionally, this textbook has been simplified in terms of content, examples, and exercises compared to the original, with moderate difficulty. The entire book is divided into two volumes. This is the first volume, covering Mechanics and Thermodynamics. Mechanics emphasizes work and energy, as well as the three conservation laws; Thermodynamics includes the basics of thermodynamics and the kinetic theory of gases. .. This textbook can be used as a teaching material for engineering majors in universities with 90-120 teaching hours of university physics, as well as for non-physics majors in science, technology, and teacher training colleges. ..
