Why re-invent the wheel this has already been done if I understand correctly for example in a bit of a more specific case "Fundamental Formulas of Physics".

"Fundamental Formulas of Physics" is just a list of formulas without much explanation.

So - more of something to put on your shelf next to Abramowitz and Stegun than a textbook, then.

has something this general been done already? We're talking everything from physics to computer science to economics. It's the simple math of everything. If you show me, I'll believe you, but for now I remain skeptical.
