Hi, /sci/
So, I'm an idiot and I'm trying to make some sort of list of fundamentals in math, going from "numbers are symbols" up through the various disciplines of math. Unfortunately, I'm having problems deciding how to.. sort of.. number this. Starting with #0 for "Why Study Mathematics?"
I'm trying to reproduce chart in the form of numbered nodes, but that doesn't really work.. some of these nodes share other nodes with more advanced nodes. It's not a clear flow from the first subject to the last. There are concurrent nodes and even further divisors..
I don't know how to arrange these in a way that puts them from the most basic to the most advanced. Can someone help me?

Numbers aren't symbols, they are sets.
