Features: This book is written in accordance with the basic requirements for university physics courses for non-physics majors proposed by the Teaching Guidance Subcommittees of Physics Foundation Courses for Non-Physics Majors under the Ministry of Education in 2004, taking into account the current curriculum and credit settings. The book aims to strengthen fundamental theories while emphasizing the development of students' ability to independently acquire knowledge, scientific thinking, and problem-solving skills. The book is divided into two volumes. Volume 1 covers Mechanics and Thermodynamics, while Volume 2 includes Electromagnetism, Wave Optics, and Quantum Physics. The specific content of Electromagnetism includes the fundamental laws of electrostatic fields and steady magnetic fields, as well as the laws governing the interaction between electric and magnetic fields. The specific content of Wave Optics includes the basic theories and applications of interference, diffraction, and polarization of light. The specific content of Quantum Physics includes the experimental foundations of quantum theory and introductory knowledge of quantum mechanics. This book can serve as a textbook for university physics courses for non-physics majors in higher education institutions.
