Features: This book is compiled based on the "Basic Requirements for University Physics Courses in Engineering" issued by the Ministry of Education. The entire book includes sixteen chapters: Kinematics of a Point, Dynamics of a Point, Rigid Body Rotation about a Fixed Axis, Introduction to Special Relativity, Kinetic Theory of Gases, Fundamentals of Thermodynamics, Electrostatic Fields in Vacuum, Electrostatic Fields in Conductors and Dielectrics, Steady Magnetic Fields and Magnetic Media, Electromagnetic Induction and Electromagnetic Fields, Mechanical Vibrations and Electromagnetic Oscillations, Mechanical Waves and Electromagnetic Waves, Interference of Light, Diffraction of Light, Polarization of Light, and Fundamentals of Quantum Physics. Each chapter is divided into sections such as "Knowledge Structure," "Discussion Questions," "Problem-Solving Methods," "Solved Examples," and "Exercises." The "Knowledge Structure" aims to integrate physical knowledge content and establish a clear conceptual framework. The "Discussion Questions" list and discuss issues that students often find confusing. The "Problem-Solving Methods" summarize problem types and solving techniques. The "Solved Examples" enhance the applicability of problem-solving methods and skills. The "Exercises" provide students with opportunities for self-practice, self-assessment of learning progress, and broadening their problem-solving perspectives. Each chapter includes answers to the exercises. As a reference book for university physics courses, it is suitable for students in engineering colleges, as well as for non-physics majors in universities, evening classes for workers, radio and television universities, and adult self-study exams. It can also be used by candidates preparing for postgraduate entrance exams and physics teachers in various higher education institutions.
