Perhaps not, but one of the topics I am interested in (probability) relies on it. Maybe foundations of math refers to something more technical than I knew, but measure theory is the foundation of some maths, right?
Note: Before reading my comment, I don't know jack shit about mathematics and much else. I'm still struggling with basic algebra. But I've got the same questions as you and compiling a lot of stuff to educate myself. Here are some ideas and links.
One of the most important concepts for the foundations of mathematics is recursion. Naturally, you'll have to fall back on some circular definition if you seek answers without dissent, progress ad infinitum or assum...
I have recently become interested in the foundations of math. I am interested in tracing the fundamentals of math in a path such as: propositional logic -> first order logic -> set theory -> measure theory. Does anyone have any resources (books, webpages, pdfs etc.) they would like to recommend?
This seems like it would be a popular activity among LWers, so I thought this would be a good place to ask for advice.
My criteria (feel free to post resources which you think others who stumble across this might be interested in):
