Features: This book is a research outcome of the "Reform Plan for Teaching Content and Curriculum System in Higher Education Towards the 21st Century" by the Ministry of Education, and is a "21st Century Curriculum Textbook." It is rewritten based on the "21st Century Curriculum Textbook" Fundamental Physics (Lu Guo. Beijing: Higher Education Press, 1997), incorporating recent teaching practices and reader feedback. The book, starting from the development of modern science and technology and the requirements for talent cultivation in science and engineering, has made significant changes to the framework of basic physics courses for non-physics majors in science and engineering, along with substantial reforms in modernizing the course content. The book is divided into five parts: Mechanics and Relativity, Electromagnetism, Optics, Quantum Mechanics, and Thermal Physics, totaling 30 chapters, published in two volumes. It can serve as a textbook for non-physics majors in science and engineering at universities, as well as for other disciplines and general readers.
