As someone who wanted a better picture of math as a broader field, I found this to be a very helpful survey. It provides rigor, but at an appropriate level for anyone who's completed a physical science, engineering, or computer science degree. It also walks through the proofs it chooses to present. It provides a concise global view of broader goals for each subfield. There are not a lot of problems in this book, but what I really appreciate are the recommendations at the end of each section for other books if you want to go deeper. I have really enjoyed flipping through this book as a transition/doorway to explore more math that may be useful to my specific projects.
