Putnam Competition

The Putnam Competition is a prestigious mathematics competition for undergraduate students in the United States and Canada, organized by the Mathematical Association of America. It tests students' problem-solving skills through challenging math problems that require creativity and deep understanding of mathematical concepts. The competition takes place annually in December and consists of two 3-hour sessions, each with six problems. It is highly regarded in the academic community, often seen as a benchmark for mathematical talent, and it attracts participants from universities across North America. Excelling in the Putnam can enhance a student's academic and career opportunities in mathematics and related fields.
