University Physics - Volume 1: Fundamentals of Classical Physics (2nd Edition)

Author: Wang Jianbang, Editor-in-Chief

Publishing Date: 2007-02-01
Features: This book is based on the achievements of the World Bank Loan Project for Educational Reform in China and the basic requirements for university physics teaching in non-physics disciplines of science and engineering. It consists of two volumes, and this is the volume, covering main topics such as mechanics, field physics, wave physics, and thermodynamics. A key feature of this book, as well as a new attempt, is that it not only strives for an in-depth yet accessible explanation with accurate concepts and vivid examples to make the content more engaging, but also elaborates on the physics research methods applied in the learned content while introducing the fundamental concepts and physical laws.
In particular, the book includes a section titled "Brief Introduction to Physics Methods" at the end of each chapter, further briefly introducing the research methods of relevant physics and highlighting the key points of applying these methods. At the same time, it provides exercises for students to independently master these methods through summarization, induction, hands-on experience, and practice, achieving the dual goals of both expanding knowledge and enhancing abilities. This book serves as a textbook for foundational university physics courses in non-physics disciplines of science and engineering at higher education institutions, as well as a reference for physics teachers, students, and related technical personnel at universities.
