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!

Thread 'What are the best A-Level options for someone wanting to do Physics?'

Bit Britain-specific but I was wondering, what's the best path to take for A-Levels out of the following (I know Y10 seems a bit early to be thinking about A-levels, but my choice will impact what I do this year/ in y11) I (almost) definitely want to do physics at University - so keep that in mind... The subjects that I'm almost definitely going to take are Maths, Further Maths and Physics, and I'm taking a fast track programme which means that I'll be taking AS computer science at the end...

Thread 'Hepth programs in Europe'

After a year of thought, I decided to adjust my ratio for applying the US/EU(+UK) schools. I mostly focused on the US schools before, but things are getting complex and I found out that Europe is also a good place to study. I found some institutes that have professors with similar interests. But gaining the information is much harder than US schools (like you have to contact professors in advance etc). For your information, I have B.S. in engineering (low GPA: 3.2/4.0) in Asia - one SCI...

Thread 'Should I pursue a masters degree after 4.5 years working in IT?'

I graduated with a BSc in Physics in 2020. Since there were limited opportunities in my country (mostly teaching), I decided to improve my programming skills and began working in IT, first as a software engineer and later as a quality assurance engineer, where I’ve now spent about 3 years. While this career path has provided financial stability, I’ve realized that my excitement and passion aren’t really there, unlike what I felt when studying or doing research in physics. Working in IT...
