The book introduces the basic concepts and fundamental laws of classical mechanics, including the concept of space and time, the fundamental forms of motion of matter (displacement and waves), the law of conservation of momentum, and the law of conservation of energy. It also briefly introduces the basic knowledge of relativity. In terms of content selection, the book focuses on classical mechanics but incorporates modern physics knowledge and ideas. Readers can learn about the latest developments in physics, discover unsolved problems, and experience the joy of connecting theory to practice, thinking about problems, and finding solutions from the main text, especially the appendices and thought-provoking questions. This book can be used as a textbook for fundamental physics in science and engineering programs at comprehensive universities, as well as a reference for teaching or self-study for physics teachers in other higher education institutions and high schools.
