Math Publications for an undergraduate?

AI Thread Summary
Starting an undergraduate mathematics course in the UK opens up opportunities to explore more specialized math publications and journals. While some academic journals can be complex and geared towards advanced researchers, there are accessible options for undergraduates interested in mathematics and scientific research. Recommendations include seeking out journals that cater to a broader audience or those that publish articles on educational topics in mathematics. Engaging with popular science magazines like New Scientist and Scientific American can also provide a good foundation before diving into more technical literature. It's important to find materials that match current knowledge and interest levels to foster understanding and enjoyment in the subject.

I've just started an undergrad maths course in the UK and I'm interested in trying out some maths publications/journals. I've always enjoyed reading science magazines in general (ie. New Scientist, Scientific American) and now that I'm at University I feel now could be a good time to move onto some more dedicated, serious material (particularly as I'm considering a career in mathematical/scientific research).

I've had a look at some things like this http://imammb.oxfordjournals.org/content/29/3/263.full.pdf+html - it looks interesting but very heavy going. Does one need a PhD in maths to be able to get anything out of these journals? Are there any that might be suitable for someone like me?

I'm grateful for any suggestions!
