I was reading his previous comments and found this. If this is the one, sounds legit lol
You may find the mathematics presented in the God Series of books worthwhile: http://www.amazon.com/The-God-Series-32-book-series/dp/B078NJXRDT?ref=dbs_m_mng_awm_0000_ext
However the books use a pattern that is long form and is attempting to break readers out of their existing thought patterns, which I think you’re already largely seeing beyond. Instead, “what is mathematics - the greatest detective story never told” by the pseudonymous author Dr. Thomas Stark may be a more concise choice.
Or this may not be interesting at all for you. But I think you may be surprised at the true history of mathematics.
Cheers.
It’s powerful stuff. It goes back to the earliest students studying the nature of reality, and follows allegedly an unbroken path of refinement since, it has not sat by and become prone to rumor and misinterpretation like most spiritual traditions. Unfortunately it is highly intellectual and well beyond the average seeker who just wants something fun to play with or to make their life incrementally better, so it hasn’t gotten much traction. I am surprised I can’t find hardly any references to it in the largest chat board in the world, maybe I am looking in the wrong places, or maybe reddit just reflects the world at large.
I specified the name of the series and the author but if it helps to have a specific link - fewer steps, I know I know, imagine 32 starter books and over a hundred more and one can imagine why this is not popular - here: * https://www.amazon.com/The-God-Series-32-book-series/dp/B078NJXRDT/ref=nodl_
'QED: The Strange Theory of Light and Matter' by Richard Feynman https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00BR40XJ6/
Just 180 pages, most of it pretty well understandable by the layperson (like me). Explains all this.
I personally found this book more accessible than the Gaisser one, I think its at a bit lower level: https://www.amazon.com/Particles-Astrophysics-Multi-Messenger-Approach-Astronomy-ebook/dp/B00S15F56K/ref=sr_1_11?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1492301876&sr=1-11&keywords=particles+and+astrophysics
I'd recommend just reading Everett. This is quite good.
For textbooks, you would need to be more specific on what topics you are interested in.
As for books you could find in Barnes & Noble (or similar stores), try The Math Book. It has short blurbs on a lot of really important mathematical ideas in chronological order. Also, the series "A Very Short Introduction to..." is really good.
EDIT: Also, this
