Features: The book features:
1. In terms of content arrangement, in addition to ensuring that the A-type knowledge points in the new "Basic Requirements" are the core content, the B-type knowledge points are also selectively expanded appropriately.
2. In the narrative of the content, it emphasizes "making the profound simple, easy to understand, highlighting physical images, and reducing mathematical derivations" to adapt to the current new situation of strengthening basic education and implementing general education in higher education.
3. In the arrangement of exercises, it emphasizes training focused on mastering and understanding basic concepts, basic laws, and basic methods, rather than favoring difficult, obscure, or overly complex problems.
4. In the selection of supplementary materials, the principle is "connecting with engineering and technical actualities and involving cutting-edge fields."
5. Appropriately considering the needs of bilingual teaching, all physical quantities and physics terms that appear in the book are followed by English annotations to adapt to the new trends of higher education reform.
The book is published in two volumes: Volume 1 includes Part Mechanics, Part Mechanical Vibration and Mechanical Waves, and Part Thermodynamics, while Volume 2 includes Part Electromagnetism, Part Optics, and Part Quantum Physics Basics. In addition to supplementary materials, there are also selected topics marked with an asterisk for the convenience of teachers and readers. Skipping these topics does not affect the systematic nature of the entire book.
The book can be used as a textbook for 120-140 hours of university physics courses for non-physics majors in general universities, and it can also serve as a teaching material for higher vocational and technical colleges, night schools, online colleges, and undergraduate physics courses for self-taught students in higher education.
