Introduction to Astronomy is a primer on astronomy, introducing the main theories of all aspects of astronomy and a primer on astronomical observations.
Physics That Changed the World focuses on the major achievements of physics in the 20th century and its main applications in modern high technology. Combined with the applications of physics in aerospace, lasers, materials, information, energy, medicine, life science and cosmology, the course focuses on the basic knowledge of physics and integrates physical knowledge and cutting-edge applications. The course starts from improving the scientific quality of college students, focusing on the integration of science and humanities, combining the history of physics to introduce the scientific ideas of famous physicists, scientific methods and the spirit of courageous exploration, and pay attention to the introduction of China's major achievements in science and technology and the contributions of our scientists. The course mainly includes ten chapters: Introduction; Space and Mechanics; Ubiquitous Waves; Microscopic World and its Exploration; Glorious New Light Sources; Physics and Materials Science and Information Technology; Physics as the Foundation of Energy Science; Physics and Modern Medical New Technology and Life Science; Relativity and the Universe; World View of Physics in the 20th Century, etc.
Interesting Science in the Solar System: The modern scientific enlightenment of mankind began with the observation of the solar system: the formulation of Newton's laws came, in large part, precisely from the human summary of the laws of planetary motion. The advent of modern science and technology has facilitated further human exploration of the solar system, and on the other hand, these explorations themselves have contributed greatly to the development of various disciplines. This course is intended for students from various disciplinary backgrounds (including both arts and science students), and it purposefully selects a part of interesting observations in the study of the solar system, and introduces these interesting phenomena while exploring the scientific principles behind them. Therefore, the purpose of this course is not only to show the colorful solar system, but also to use the solar system as a platform to demonstrate the logic of modern scientific research and the power of critical thinking: when we encounter an unsolved mystery, how should we solve it?
Computer Visualization and the Scientific Elements of Traditional Culture examines, analyzes and explores the knowledge and methods of physics in traditional Chinese culture from the perspective of modern science, uses the powerful graphical capabilities of computer science software to digitize and visualize the scientific elements of traditional culture, and develops students' ability to use computer graphics to find the physical laws behind them. This course focuses on the organic integration of science, humanities and information technology, which helps to cultivate students' learning ability, language expression ability, analysis and problem solving ability, cultivate students' information literacy, enhance students' interdisciplinary thinking, stimulate students' innovation consciousness, in order to achieve the goal of educating people with culture, educating people with physics, and achieving students' all-round development The purpose of the course is to educate people with physics and achieve all-round development of students.
