| Dec 11, 2023 at 12:41 | comment | added | Willie Wong | I think the question could be improved if you can give some example of what it means to have a book that "generally introduces [any subject] as a whole" in a mathematical way. My feeling is that most "introductory" mathematical books are deliberately narrowly focused so as to get through some basic ideas, and refrain from making the most general discussion of the whole of the subject. For example, there are many excellent classic texts in mathematical physics (Courant and Hilbert for one, Reed and Simon for another). But I wouldn't say any of them touches the subject "as a whole". | |

Removed additional question and reworded question to be more focussed on a textbook recommendation
