The Putnam Competition The William Lowell Putnam Mathematical Competition, hosted by the Mathematical Association of America, is an annual math contest written by undergraduate students across North America. The top individual prize includes full tuition for graduate school at Harvard, plus $12,000. For more info about the contest and its history, see the Official Contest page and the Wikipedia page. The UFV Putnam Club The 2012 UFV Putnam Club meets on Thursdays, Sept 6 - Nov 29 inclusive, from 4-5:20 PM in room A 360. The 2012 Putnam competition will take place on Saturday, December 1. For more info about the UFV Putnam Club meetings, and/or to register as a participant in the 2012 competition, contact Ian Affleck at ian.affleck@ufv.ca The 2011 UFV Putnam Club was: - Sung il Anh (Grade 9, Yale Secondary School)
- Christopher Dugdale (4th year math major)
- Emily Scoular (2nd year math major)
- Kenneth Vanderlinde (3rd year math major)
The competition questions that they were faced with can be viewed here:

- Slava Minin (4th year computing science major)
- Kenneth Vanderlinde (2nd year math major)
- Matthew Wiersma (4th year math major)

http://amc.maa.org/a-activities/a7-problems/putnamindex.shtml The following two PDF documents contain some introductory problems, and many of the easier Putnam problems from recent years. They are a good place to start looking for friendly and do-able problems. (Thanks to Chris Dugdale for tracking down these documents.) Course Notes The following files were compiled by Anna Kuczynska as course notes for the first three main topics that we covered in Fall 2010: The Principle of Mathematical Induction, The Pigeonhole Principle, and Inequalities.
