物理学是整个自然科学和现代工程技术的基础。英文版大学物理课程的开设,首先是使学生掌握专业所必须的物理基础知识和专业词汇;进而要让学生对物理学的内容和方法、工作语言、概念和物理图像,其历史、现状和前沿等方面,从整体上有个全面的了解。这是一门培养和提高学生科学素质、科学思维方法和科学研究能力的重要基础课。本课程是针对国际化的教学需求开设的全英文授课物理在线开放课程。
本学期的基本内容为:
l Mechanics力学,包括质点运动学、质点动力学、刚体力学、振动、波动和声
l Optics光学,包括光的干涉、衍射、偏振
l Special Theory of Relativity,狭义相对论
课程参考教材: Douglas C. Giancoli著,滕小瑛改编, 《Physics for Scientists and Engineers with Modern Physics,大学物理学(第3版)》,高等教育出版社,2004
课程学习成绩由两部分构成:
(1)单元测验:每1到3章有一次单元测验,所有单元测验的总分数占课程成绩的70%。
(2)课程考试:课程结束后,学生可以参加课程的最后考试,成绩占30%。
完成课程学习并参加考试可获得证书。证书分两种等级:总评成绩大于等于60分且小于85分为合格证书,总评成绩大于等于85分为优秀证书。
