<p>I am a high schooler, aiming to get into MIT, or something of the likes, and am wondering how you guys get mathematical journals. i see they are ridiculously expensive, and want to know if there are any other alternative online or cheaper methods...e.g. Mathematical Annals..</p>
<p>Most people who don’t have a BS in math won’t be able to make heads or tails of a real math journal. I took a bunch of math classes (number theory, algebra) and am a non-math MIT grad, and I doubt I could get anything out of them.</p>
<p>Try this one, which are geared toward advanced high school students.</p>

<p>I don’t know if it’s any good or not. I’ve never looked at it.</p>
<p>If you really want to read a math journal, go to a university library and xerox some journals. A lot of journals are so expensive that only a university could afford them.</p>
<p>Yeah I noticed, for example Mathematical annuls is about 600 bucks a year for individuals, and about 5K for institution use, 
You are right I may not understand some (most) articles, but I am making it my life long research project. Thank you very much for the links!!!</p>
