The William Lowell Putnam Mathematical Competition will take place on December 05, 2009. If you are interested in participating, please send email to Prof. Brinkmann (
brinkman@sci.ccny.cuny.edu by Friday, October 09. (If you feel you may want to participate but aren't sure, please get in touch just in case; you don't have to show up for the exam if you don't want to, but we can't register you after the deadline.)
The Graduate Center will be hosting preparation sessions for all participants from CUNY (probably on Friday afternoons), and if there is sufficient demand, we will also have preparation sessions at City College. If you are interested in preparation sessions at City College, please say so in your email and indicate what time slots would work for you.
