This LW thread seems relevant.

In particular this summary of resources has sections on logic and foundations. There's a little bit of difference between that thread topic and my topic, which is that I am interested in learning the fundamentals of math for themselves (and doing further math) rather than only LW relevant math.

For example: Metamath (Constructs mathematics from scratch, starting from ZFC set theory axioms) and The Haskell Road to Logic, Maths and Programming... and check this graphic: http://space.mit.edu/home/tegmark/toe.gif
