Dear Students,
I am writing to invite you to participate this year in the Putnam Exam,
an all-day, nationwide collegiate math competition that takes place on
December 1, the first Saturday in December, from 9:00 am - 12:00 noon
and 2:00-5:00 pm. The math department will provide you with lunch. This
competition is difficult, but the problems often catch your interest and
draw you into trying to solve them. Dr. Wright created a handout with a
few Putnam problems, attached. If you'd like to participate, we'd love
to hear from you. Our registration is due shortly.
If a few students are interested, we can hold a few practice sessions a
bit later in the term. Let me, Dr. Dosev, or Dr. Wright know. Also your
friends from any other major (engineering, sciences, etc.) are invited.
Let me know if you have any questions.
Dr. Mantini
