Hi
I'm a guy with quite a solid background in math, but with no knowledge
in physics. I'm looking for books and articles in the following areas:
* Overview of the varying derivations of the laws of physics from
Hamilton's principle, assumptions of symmetries in space and time,
information theory, conservation assumptions, etc. In short: What can
be proven assuming this and that?
* A text dealing with the connection between the number of dimensions
in space and the laws of physics. Maybe answering the question "how
come space has three spatial dimensions and not seven?".

Roger Penrose, The Road to Reality, for starters. Then you'll move into
specialized analyses.
Yeah, Penrose's book gets my vote.
