内容简介
本书是一本在美国被普遍认可而广泛采用的大学物理教科书。内容包括力学、热学、振动与波、电磁学、光学、狭义相对论等。本书的特色是注重概念，原理的讲解，非常注意教给学生解答物理习题的方法；除配有大量，合适的例题外，还适时地总结列出利用原理解答习题的思路和步骤，并在学业生易发生误解和错误的地方及时地加注：本书还引用了大量生动的生活实例，从实际出发，激发学生的学习兴趣，开阔学生的眼界。本书适用于一般工科院校，特别是双语教学。
Hugh D.Young is Professor of Physics at Carnegie-Mellon University in Pittsburgh,PA.He attended Carnegie-Mellon for both undergraduate and graduate study and eraned his Ph.D. in fundamental particle theory under the direction of the late Richard Cutkosky.He joined the faculty of Carnegie-Mellon in 1956,and Has also spent two years as a Visting Professor at the University of California at Berkeley.
Prof.Young's career has centered entirely around undergraduate education.He has written several undergraduate-level textbooks,and in 1973 he became a co-author with francis Sears and Mark Zemansky for their well-known introductory texts.With their deaths,he assumed full responsibility ofr new editions of these books,most recently the eighth edition of University Physics.
