Features: This book is a research outcome of the "Reform Plan for Teaching Content and Curriculum Systems in Higher Education Towards the 21st Century" by the Ministry of Education, and is a "21st Century Curriculum Textbook." Based on the "21st Century Curriculum Textbook" Fundamental Physics (Lu Guo. Beijing: Higher Education Press, 1997), this book has been rewritten according to recent teaching practices and reader feedback. Starting from the development of modern science and technology and the requirements for talent cultivation in science and engineering, the book has made significant changes to the framework of the foundational physics curriculum for non-physics majors in science and engineering, as well as substantial reforms in the modernization of course content. The book is divided into five parts: Mechanics and Relativity, Electromagnetism, Optics, Quantum Mechanics, and Thermal Physics, totaling 30 chapters, published in two volumes. It can serve as a textbook for non-physics majors in science and engineering at universities, as well as for other disciplines and general readers.
