any /sci/ recs on a book that provides gist on most of the sub-fields of higher math? analytic number theory, differential geometry, ergodic theory, lie theory, galois theory, etc. (to pluck some random names from tao's blog & elsewhere)? obviously not to learn the fields but to get a general feel for what they're about. I feel that a book would provide a more coherent picture of higher math for the laychad than some disjointed exercise in "type each field into google, then read"

t. been thru calc I & II, linear alg, and elementary number theory as a compsci fag, so don't need one of the many overly broad & basic books that introduces only such things with some abstract algebra and statistics thrown in. I have no problem finding such books.
