Features: This book is a textbook for the general physics course in engineering universities, divided into five parts. The Mechanics section includes classical mechanics and special relativity. The book presents a relatively new approach to relativity, which helps in deepening the understanding of electromagnetism. In electromagnetism, emphasis is placed on the understanding of fundamental theories, with in-depth yet accessible introductions to concepts such as electromagnetic potential and symmetry. The Optics section builds on the knowledge from the first two parts and prepares the necessary foundation for quantum physics. Thermodynamics includes the kinetic theory of gases and thermodynamics. Quantum physics emphasizes quantum states and probability amplitudes. The book highlights the research outcomes of recent modernization reforms in teaching content, focuses on new ideas in physics research, and reflects on the engineering and technological background.
