Are These Three Elementary Math Books Worth Reading?

In summary, there are three recommended books for a survey of mathematics: "Elementary Mathematics from an Advanced Standpoint: Geometry," "Elementary Mathematics from an Advanced Standpoint: Arithmetic, Algebra, Analysis," and "A Concise Introduction to Pure Mathematics." These books are compared to "Mathematics: Its Content, Methods and Meaning" and the book "Mathematics for Physics." The purpose of these books is to learn real math for the first time and to supplement the understanding of math in physics. However, there are no other specific recommendations for books that emphasize the applications of math to science.

There are these three good books for survey of mathematics:
Elementary Mathematics from an Advanced Standpoint: Geometry (Dover Books on Mathematics)
https://www.amazon.com/dp/0486434818/?tag=pfamazon01-20
Elementary Mathematics from an Advanced Standpoint: Arithmetic, Algebra, Analysis (Dover Books on Mathematics)
https://www.amazon.com/dp/048643480X/?tag=pfamazon01-20
A Concise Introduction to Pure Mathematics, Third Edition (Chapman Hall/CRC Mathematics Series)
http://www.amazon.com/dp/1439835985/?tag=pfamazon01-20
How do the three of them combined compare to the book that I have:Mathematics: Its Content, Methods and Meaning,https://www.amazon.com/dp/0486409163/?tag=pfamazon01-20 ?(the purpose is to learn bits of real math for the first time).
also for learning the math of physics is this one good https://www.amazon.com/dp/0262180316/?tag=pfamazon01-20 there's anything similar you can post it.

The book that you have is really good, if that is what you're worried about.

I want another to supplement it, which explain simply the math behind physics.

Is your book too advanced for you and you want a simpler book?
