This is wonderful! Just what I need. I keep returning to this one YT series by Frederic Schuller, "Lectures on Geometrical Anatomy of Theoretical Physics"[1], where he goes through the mathematical foundations of theoretical physics from the very bottom. He starts with propositional and predicate logic, presents the ZF axioms of set theory, and then boom, you're off to the races! Recently, I posted a comment in a questions thread on /r/math asking where I could get a more thorough treatment of the philosophy of mathematics, as these lectures can get a bit arm-wavey, but the responses I got were disappointingly dismissive. One guy said all this philosophy was "not interesting" and considered the foundational stuff to be "just a construction". I get that it may not be directly useful for current research to a mathematician trying to get published, but common! [1] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V49i_LM8B0E&list=PLPH7f_7Zlz... |
