Features: The complete tutorial includes "Mechanics," "Thermodynamics," "Electromagnetism," and "Optics·Modern Physics." "Mechanics" covers topics such as the kinematics of point particles, Newton's laws of motion, the impulse theorem, the mechanical energy theorem, the angular momentum theorem, the center of mass mechanics theorem, rigid body mechanics, vibration, waves, fluid mechanics, and the Hamiltonian principle, totaling eleven chapters, accompanied by 181 exercises. The book focuses on the fundamental laws and concepts of mechanics, typical phenomena, and applications, while also emphasizing the expansion and moderate deepening of knowledge. It includes reviews of the forefront of discipline development, certain historical backgrounds and notes, as well as guidance for students in their learning. Adhering to structure, inheriting tradition, striving for simplicity, and focusing on expansion are the distinctive features of this book. It is a general-purpose textbook, with a volume roughly matching a 36-hour lecture course, suitable for use in science, engineering, agriculture, medicine, and teacher training institutions.
