There was a lot I didn't understand back then in each issue, but I kept learning more over the years and so I understood more. The magazine has always offered a glimpse into scientific research which you can learn from, regardless of your level of knowledge.

This particular issue has a lot of depth to it, but, anyone interested in the sciences and who has a better than average understanding of math and those sciences will get a lot out of it, I think.

One of my favorite things in the magazine is the look-back page, where they reprint short articles from 50, 100, and now 150 years ago. The magazine has been around for a very long time.
