Features: This book is written based on the author's more than ten years of teaching experience in university physics, referencing the "Basic Requirements for University Physics Teaching in Higher Engineering Colleges" originally issued by the State Education Commission, and incorporating the experiences gained from participating in national and regional engineering physics teaching conferences over the years. It is tailored to the requirements and characteristics of general industrial colleges and is suitable for classroom teaching with approximately 90 hours of instruction. The content of the book includes: kinematics of a point, Newton's laws, conservation laws, rigid bodies, kinetic theory of gases, fundamentals of thermodynamics, electrostatic fields, steady currents, magnetic fields of electric currents, electromagnetic induction, simple harmonic motion, plane simple harmonic waves, interference of light, diffraction of light, polarization of light, an introduction to relativity, and an introduction to quantum theory. This book can be used as a teaching material for university physics in ordinary higher engineering colleges and adult education institutions.
