The Putnam Competition is a challenging opportunity for you to test
your mathematical mettle. In the 2005 competition, 3545
individuals participated, representing 500 colleges and
universities across the United States and Canada.
Detailed information and lore can be found at the official
website of the competition.
The competion is open to all undergraduates who have not yet
received a college degree. No individual may participate in the
competition more than four times.
If you are a UCSD undergraduate and wish to participate in the
2008 competition, please contact Prof. Rabin by email (jrabin at ucsd dot edu).
Copies of recent Putnam Problem Sets can be found here.
Problems and solutions for every year of the competition have been provided by J. Scholes
here.
Problems and solutions for the years 1985-2000 have been collected by
K. Kedlaya, B. Poonen, and R. Vakil. For a review of this book, click
