I'm studying mathematics through three books:

I have also some invitations to mathematics which present a different perspective: Some introduce mathematics through combinatorics, some introduce mathematics through set theory, etc.

Are there introductions to mathematics through physics?

    Your question is kind of confusing. Combinatorics and set theory are parts of mathematics, so what do you really mean by "introducing mathematics through combinatorics/set theory"?2012-07-09

    It's made to introduce mathematics, but it will take you to a specific field, in the case: Combinatorics and Set Theory. Mathematics introductions could leave you in a broad range of fields.2012-07-09

    Combinatorics, set theory and logic are the foundations of mathematics so that's why should any one starting mathematics should learn them first as introductions to the world of maths2012-07-09

The books you mentioned are not really introductions to mathematics through that topic. Rather the topic itself is a branch of mathematics; for example, calculus. Physics uses much mathematics, and much mathematics is motivated by physical problems; for example, differential equations. Some universities have undergraduate math syllabuses that cover a lot of physics; for example, Cambridge. For a good overview of undergraduate physics with lots of mathematical material, you may see The Feynman Lectures on Physics by Nobel prize winner Richard Feynman.

    This seems to be incredible! Thanks.2012-08-20
