Features: This book is revised and adapted based on the first prize teaching achievement textbook "University Physics" at the military level, according to the "Basic Requirements for University Physics Teaching in Non-Physics Majors of Science and Engineering" newly formulated by the Ministry of Education in 2004. It takes into account the trends of physics textbook reforms both domestically and internationally, as well as the current reality of university physics teaching in China. The book emphasizes fundamental theories, focuses on training and cultivating problem-solving and analytical skills, and consistently adheres to a gradual progression, making it suitable for both teaching and self-study. The book is divided into two volumes. The first volume includes mechanics, vibrations and waves, thermodynamics, and electricity, while the second volume covers steady current, magnetism, optics, modern physics, and the physical foundations of modern technologies for optional lectures. Additionally, there are short reading materials such as gyroscopes and inertial navigation, an introduction to chaos, entropy and information, superconductivity, liquid crystals, nuclear magnetic resonance, infrasound weapons, and electromagnetic guns for students to choose from, which help stimulate learning enthusiasm, broaden horizons, and improve scientific literacy. At the end of the book, there is a bilingual glossary of physics terms for easy reference by teachers and students. This book can serve as a textbook for undergraduate students in various disciplines of higher engineering schools, technical majors in military academies, non-physics majors in science, and adult education-related fields. It can also be used as a reference book for engineering and technical personnel or for self-study.
