  The Putnam Computition is a collection of twelve very difficult problems taken from undergraduate mathematics. This year the exam is given on Saturday, Dec. 1, from 9-12 AM and 2-5 PM. Any undergraduate may participate. Solving even just a few of the problems is a fine achievement. There are cash prizes offered for best scores nationwide, including a top prize of an all-expense-paid one-year fellowship to Harvard University. The name of the top undergraduate at O.S.U is inscribed on a plaque displayed in the Math Science Building. If you are interested in taking the exam, please contact Professor David Wright or leave your name and phone number in MS 401. You MUST sign up before Wednesday, Oct. 10. Signing up does not obligate you to take the exam or do anything else. There are no fees for the exam. Anyone who is interested in the exam or problem-solving in general may come to practice sessions on Thursday 5-6pm in MS 428, beginning October 11. For more details about the exam or the seminar, contact David Wright in MS 527, phone 744-5775, email: wrightd@math.okstate.edu
