The textbook is designed to study physics at the basic level. It consists of three parts ("Electrodynamics," "Physics of the XX century" "Universe"). The textbook is a short but complete course in physics, since it contains not only mandatory material, but also material for repetition and familiarization reading. The peculiarity of the textbook is the implementation of the humanitarian orientation of physical education in it (chapters end with historical excursions, epigraphs are given to many paragraphs).
