[quote=Anonymous]My DC is a math major and bio minor (interests here are mainly evolution, ecosystems and environmental issues)  DCwas also interested in physics and took Quantum in his freshman year, but biology won over physics.   DC also took Data Structures just to get to know how things work in that realm.  DC is only interested  in pure math (despite my encouragement to take at least a few more applied math classes as a back up plan).    DC is a junior and gets all A’s.  He did a SULI internship last year and is applying for some pure math REUs for next summer.  Topology and Number Theory have been his favorite classes (although he likes them all). He is planning on going to grad school, but is still trying to figure out a direction.  I am encouraging him to consider a Post Baccalaureate once he graduates from undergrad.    He could have graduated a year early, but wants to take more varied math classes beforehand.  DC’s college is well known for STEM, but more applied than pure- so he had had few opportunities for research at school.

What kind of math literature - peer review journals - would be good for him to read to see what is out there in the field  and learn a more than his classes have given him?
