Are there any essays on real numbers (in general?).

Specifically I want to learn more about:

  • The history of (the system of) numbers;

  • their philosophical significance through history;

  • any good essays on their use in physics and the problems of modeling a 'physical' line.

Cheers.

I left this vague as google only supplied Dedekind theory of numbers which was quite interesting but not really what I was hoping for.
