This is a basic course for undergraduate students majoring in science and technology except for physics. The content covers classical mechanics, thermodynamics, electromagnetism, optics and the laws of microscopic systems. By helping students master basic laws and theories in these fields and know the application of physics in modern life and technology. The course aims to promote the scientific ability of students and offers a good basis for studying the other following courses.

Goals:

    --helping students build the analytical and quantitative skills  

       and confidence needed to apply physics in problem-solving  

       for science and engineering.

     --helping students build a stronger conceptual understanding.

     --helping students see the relevance and excitement of the 

        physics they’re studying with wide-ranging and 

        contemporary applications in science, technology and 

        everyday life.

    --helping students develop an appreciation of the physical 

        universe at its most fundamental level.

Realms of physics

Physics provides a unified description of basic principles that govern physical reality.

It’s convenient to divide physics into a number of different but related realms.

Here we consider six distinct realms: mechanics, oscillations, waves, fluids, thermodynamics, optics, electromagnetism, modern physics

The course performance consists of two parts:

(1) Score at ordinary time: 40% of the course score；

(2) Course examination: at the end of the course, students can take the final examination of the course, accounting for 60% of the results.

Complete the course study and take the examination: if the total score is greater than or equal to 60 and less than 85, it is qualified; if the total score is greater than or equal to 85, it is excellent.
