Official Putnam website for the Putnam competition.
VERY IMPORTANT: you will need to register yourself for the Putnam competition before December 1st. Only students registering using a valid UBC email address will be allowed to write the Putnam exam.
The Putnam training sessions will take place each Friday, 5-7pm in MATX 1100, starting with September 8th, until November 24th. During the meetings, I will connect on zoom -- so, if you prefer, you could do the same; but also there will be in-classroom presence organized by Oakley Edens (main coordinator from the UBC Undergraduate Mathematics Society) and Young Lin. In the Putnam training sessions, we will cover various topics from Number Theory, Algebra, Combinatorics and Analysis along with problems from these areas of various levels of difficulty.
The Putnam exam will take place at UBC on December 2nd, starting from 8AM in room MATX 1100.
