About this course:

        This course is designed to be taught for freshman of Science and Engineering majors; and the whole course will be conducted in English
        There will not be a fixed text book. You are suggested to buy one of the above and study through out the text.

        The lectures are designed as a two-semester course for first-year college students. General physics is one of the most basic courses for science and Engineering majors. It is essential and absolutely important for any science courses you will take in the future. You are strongly suggested to do home works and practice as many problems as you can (by yourself, of course), as this is almost the ONLY way to do your general physics right. Do not hesitate to ask questions in or out of class. There is no stupid question in physics. Do ask!

         Although you have had almost 4 years of physics in your high school days, it is NOT THE SAME.  One obvious difference is the textbook will be in English (so will the examine problems). This is a tough obstacle to most freshmen. There is only one way to get this over; that is, you study harder (especially in the first six chapters when the physics is easier, you should also concentrate on the English).  However, most importantly, you should treat the general physics from a different prospective.  More mathematics will be involved in treatment of the physics problems. Therefore, the solution to a problem sometime is not the most important part, it is the PHYSICS (the physics picture your will build in your mind) that is important in the learning of this course.

         Due to the enormous amount of the material in the textbook, we will make choices and skip some parts that are not critical to the subject or future applications. However, we will try to cover all the materials if possible to provide you with a broader view toward the General Physics.    
        The lectures of this year will start from Chapter 7 of Serway and end in Chapter 38. You will have another course, Modern Physics that follows this course as a bridge between General Physics and Quantum Physics. However, it depends on the responds of the class, we may go into the modern physics parts (part 5, Chap. 39-45) if possible.
