How to Understand Physics - States of Nature and Thermodynamics: For Anyone Who is not Afraid of Emojis

A Physics Book Everyone Can Understand Do you want to learn physics without the need to learn Calculus? Do you want a book that gives a rigorous understanding of Physics? Do you want NOT to be treated like a child, an idiot, or a dummy? Do you want NOT to do tests or homework or solve problems? And you are not afraid of Emojis. This book, “Rigorous Physics—For Anyone Who Is Not Afraid of Emojis,” is what you want. I discuss all the topics of a university physics course using physicist language and rigor but without the need to take calculus. All you need to know to understand physics is the meaning of the symbols (emojis) we use. Physicists and mathematicians have given us all the answers. We do not need to prove them all over again. The intent is to satisfy/enrich the curious mind of the reader and enjoy the magnificent world of physics. This book contains many graphics, and the meaning of most equations is clearly explained. Many everyday, interesting observations are sprinkled throughout the book. Most of the derivations that could interest you are relegated to the appendices.

This book is purposely divided into six volumes. This allows you to buy those that cover your interests or keep different volumes open simultaneously on the desk or computer. You are now holding volume 3

Volume 3—States of Nature and Thermodynamics— The first part of this volume covers the properties of solids , including their crystal structures, their bonding, vibrations, expansion, and conductivity. It also discusses the band theory of solids, which explains why solids are conductors and insulators of semiconductors. We discuss fluids' static and dynamic properties and their many practical applications. Next, we learned the macroscopic and microscopic properties of gasses, including plasmas. The second part covers heat and the two laws of thermodynamics, including the Carnot cycle, entropy, and several heat engines, such as gasoline and diesel engines and refrigerating devices.
You will be surprised by how easy it is and how surprising some results are.
The other five volumes are: Volume 1—The Physicist’s Toolbox— With just a few pages, it explains all the mathematical emojis and fundamental concepts used in this book. Volume 2—Mechanics – Newton’s laws of motion, work, energy, momentum, and power Volume 4—Electricity and Magnetism - Fields, electromagnetic waves, voltage and current, and semiconductor devices and applications. Volume 5—Light and optics – Light properties, mirrors, lenses, and optical instruments. Volume 6 – Modern physics – Atomic and Nuclear physics, Relativity and Quantum Mechanics. Anyone can use this book as a reference or review, but the primary audience is individuals who want to understand real physics without struggling with mathematical complexities. Only mathematical symbols, emojis, are needed.

Dr. George Domingo obtained his Ph.D. at UCLA. He started his career as an engineering faculty at Northrop University (11 years), worked in industry on infrared detector technology (20 years), and led the development of the infrared detectors for the SPITZER and JWST astronomical observatories (15 years) as an employee and consultant of NASA. He published two books, “ Introduction to Electrical Engineering” and “Semiconductor Basics” and numerous papers.
