The median score is generally around 0-2 points.
National winners usually get around 100 points. Each problem is worth 10 points, so the maximum score is 120. The exam consists of 12 problems, 6 in the 3 hour morning session and 6 in the 3-hour afternoon session. In a regular year is given on the first Saturday in December. The Putnam Exam, offered by the Mathematical Association of America, is the premier American math competition for undergraduate students. Organizers: Dima Arinkin, Mihaela Ifrim, Tatiana Shcherbyna, Botong Wang Worked on the remaining problems we still have some left: A6 and B5. Solutions to all the problems: Various problems from past competitions Working in the extra problems added to the Nov 17th pdf. We started discussing Various problems from past competitions We continue the discussion of inequalities We will continue to discuss some number theory problems from the list The plan is to look on some of the following problems (we probably will not cover them all) We are going to discuss number theory problems. If you have the time, please look at the problems in advance, and then if you have ideas or questions, we would talk about it at the start. We'll look at the following problems (the last few problems are quite hard, and we probably won't get to them during the meeting).Ĭontinuing with the problems from last time. Then continue to the analytic ones such as 2019 A3, A4, B2, 2020 A3.Ĭontinue the two sets of Putnam problems from last time. We plan to start with algebraic problems such as 2019 A1, A2, B1, B3, 2020 A1, A2, B1. In the first two lectures, we will take a look at some of the Putnam competition problems from 20. Meeting at the 9th floor lounge Van Vleck. To sign up for Putnam club email announcements, please send an email to (empty subject and body works). We are going to discuss Probability problems
Inequalities with zoom math 500 series#
Generating functions and telescoping series We are going to continue to discuss Analysis problems 2 We are going to discuss Analysis problems Old exams and more information on the Putnam competition.
