Features: This book is divided into three volumes: Upper, Middle, and Lower. The upper volume first emphasizes the fundamental and connecting role of mechanics. It then introduces the more accessible physical foundations of statistical thermodynamics, which helps lower-year university students quickly enter a positive learning cycle and autonomous learning state, stimulates learning interest, and further proceeds to the more challenging electromagnetism in the middle volume, thereby improving the efficiency of learning classical physics content such as vibrations, waves, and wave optics. On this solid foundation, students can then study the modern physics and engineering principles in the lower volume. The book is arranged progressively and starts from simple to complex, with good compatibility, meeting the teaching requirements of key universities. For regular universities with fewer teaching hours in related fields, the lower volume can be selectively used. This book is paired with the "University Physics Teaching System" software developed by Professor Shen Huiqi of the Information Engineering College of the People's Liberation Army, achieving excellent teaching results. It is suitable for science, education (non-physics), and engineering undergraduate students, as well as physics enthusiasts for self-study.
