Features: This textbook is part of the "Nineth Five-Year Plan" teaching materials series of Northwestern Polytechnical University. Based on the fundamental teaching requirements, it has been further developed and updated. The content is carefully selected from a modern perspective to inspire students' innovative spirit. Through reforms in exercises and assignments, as well as enhancing the practicality and of the material, it highlights the characteristics of engineering physics and makes bold attempts in many aspects, showing considerable novelty. The second edition incorporates further supplements and revisions based on feedback from instructors and students who have used the first edition. The textbook is divided into two volumes: Volume 1 includes three parts—Introduction, Mechanics, and Electromagnetism, while Volume 2 includes three parts—Thermodynamics, Waves, and Quantum Physics. It uniformly adopts the "Legal Metrological Units of the People's Republic of China" and the national standard "Quantities and Units" implemented in 1994, as well as the "Physics Nomenclature" published in 1996. This textbook can be used as the primary teaching material for university physics courses (covering 116-140 class hours) in engineering (undergraduate) programs at ordinary universities, adult higher education institutions, and online education colleges. It is also suitable as a reference book for self-study exam preparation courses and candidates for self-study exams, as well as for engineering professionals, university and secondary school teachers, and administrative personnel.
