I feel like someone has asked this some time in the past here, but I couldn't find it so I guess I'm asking again.
What Physics/Math Magazines/Journals do you guys read on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis?
I'm currently a college freshman and I really want to get involved in the physics and math community and what better to start off than to start reading daily news about them? I'm currently subscribed to APS. What others are you guys in?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Martha Stewart and Ladies Home Journal. This way you will be able to take care of yourself while you get your education. Martha has a cooking magazine too that is very good. It's small and you can carry it to the market with you. Good luck in your studies.

Scientific American of course :)
 
i think we've had this discussion before. add: American Scientist.

it really depends on "where you're at" tho. maybe reading Nature is more someone else's speed.
