Features: This book is revised based on the fourth edition of "Physics," with reference to the newly formulated "Basic Requirements for University Physics Courses for Non-Physics Majors in Science and Engineering (Discussion Draft)" by the Physics Basic Course Teaching Guidance Subcommittees for Non-Physics Majors under the Ministry of Education. It covers all core content outlined in the requirements and includes a selection of extended topics for different majors to choose from. During the revision process, the book maintains the original logical structure, appropriate depth and breadth, moderate workload, and broad applicability, while strengthening the content of modern physics. It also enhances the interpretation of classical physics from a modern perspective and highlights the impact of modern physics achievements on science and technology. This book can serve as a textbook for non-physics majors in science and engineering at universities, as well as for students in humanities and social sciences and general readers.
