Free journals of maths and physics?

[jonjacson]

Hi folks,

I am searching free journals of maths and physics that are written to teach, so you can learn even if you have no idea of the content (previously I mean).

Does it exist something like that?

All journals are written "to teach", but all assume a particular starting point more advanced than "no idea of the content". You can only do so much in a few pages.

That's what introductory textbooks are for. They are used in schools and universities. Journals are not.

That's true, but not completely true. American Journal of Physics and European Journal of Physics have the purpose to teach. Yet, the papers in those journals should be used as a supplementary material, i.e. they assume that the the reader has already learned the basics from a textbook.

Many papers from those journals are available for free on arXiv:

Well folks, I found a very good fit for what I was looking for.

https://www.investigacionyciencia.es/

It is in Spanish and it is not free, but the suscription is very low.

I guess this is like Science and Nature in English, more or less.

Thanks for all the answers.

Ah, we would call those "magazines".
Quanta Magazine: Illuminating Science
Nautilus | Science Connected
Cosmos - The science of everything
There are also many "science news" sites like
PhysOrg.com - Science News, Technology, Physics, Nanotechnology, Space Science, Earth Science, Medicine
ScienceAlert
Science News | Daily news articles, blogs and biweekly magazine covering all areas of science

If you are still a student to a university in the US. Then the school should have access to journals (ie., subscription for the school), either through the library or the specific department the journal's contents belong to.
