| Jun 29, 2015 at 9:30 | comment | added | Vinteuil | I have no idea of what can be the meaning of "the meaning of things" in mathematics. From one point of view the book by Courant and Robbins recommended in the answer below is a good choice, as well as Rademacher-Toeplitz, but both are much more elementary that Feynman's lectures (Hardy-Wright may be similar in level to Feynman's, but it is restricted to Number Theory). From another (very different) point of view some books from Bourbaki (and Bourbaki's componets) can be what you are looking for. | |

| Jun 27, 2015 at 8:27 | comment | added | Francesco Polizzi | In my opinion "meaning of things" in Mathematics has a much broad sense than in Physics (where it essentially means "explaination of natural phenomena"). So it is very difficult (if not impossible) to write a treatise in the spirit of Feyman's | |

| Jun 27, 2015 at 6:14 | comment | added | BigM | I've actually watched some of his lectures on youtube.i doubt there is anyone close to him on this matter in math but here is a few off of. My watch list:(general talks about math) | |
