Do you like math puzzles? Are you looking for a challenge of epic proportions? The Putnam Math Competition is calling.
Held here on campus on the first Saturday in December, it consists of two 3-hour sessions, comprising a dozen supremely challenging problems, covering everything from algebra, geometry and calculus to number theory, linear algebra and methods of inductive proofs.
These are a series of rigorous puzzles that call upon both your math knowledge and your problem-solving skills. Top performers receive scholarships, and all leave with the feeling of scaling the Mount Everest of math.
There is no cost to participate, so if you’d like to learn more, contact Mark Rogers in the TTU Math Department (at mcrogers@tntech.edu). Fame and glory await you!
