Features: This manual primarily focuses on the fundamental theories of university physics, divided into five parts: Mechanics, Thermodynamics, Electromagnetism, Optics, and Modern Physics. Each part is divided into two sections. The first section lists all the formulas in that part, providing readers with quick access to specific formulas. The second section offers a detailed introduction and explanation of fundamental concepts, principles, laws, and formulas, while also introducing some knowledge of modern physics, such as modern optics and information entropy. It aims to provide comprehensive content, concise language, clear concepts, and well-organized structure for easy reference. At the end of each part, we have included appendices with commonly used physical data, physical constants, a timeline of major events in physics, and a list of Nobel Prize winners in Physics. Considering the need for readers to communicate in foreign languages, we have also specially compiled a Chinese-English glossary of physics terms, listing corresponding English words or phrases for some commonly used physics concepts and vocabulary. We believe this manual will bring convenience to readers' studies and work. It is primarily intended for undergraduate and graduate students in science and engineering disciplines, as well as science and technology workers. For physics teachers, it is also a comprehensive teaching reference book.
