Hello /sci/
My main interest in life is philosophy, literature, art, history etc. and I've always refused to give any time to mathematics because I hated it at school, barely passing and being unable to grasp it in any meaningful way. However, I've begun to develop an interest in the philosophical and theological implications of mathematics, particularly after reading Ramanujan's thoughts on equations and their expression of God. I would like to attempt some self-education in mathematics in the same way I did with philosophy (wasn't taught it at school at all).
Question is: Where do I begin? What books do I read? How different are mathematical concepts from philosophical ones? Can you recommend any books/info on the relationship between mathematics and religion?
