From e-MATH, the Website of the American Mathematical Society, Mathematical Digest provides short summaries of news articles about mathematics (or mathematicians) that have appeared in the popular press. As some articles have a distinctly popular flavor, content will also be of interest to those curious about the culture's (and the media's) perception of math. The table of contents features summaries for articles dating from this summer back to 1995. The brief summaries of articles gleaned from magazines and newspapers (such as Nature, Discover, and The New York Times) also include the date the article appeared and the page number, for easy reference.
