The William Lowell Putnam Mathematical Competition, often abbreviated to Putnam Competition, is an annual mathematics competition for undergraduate college students enrolled at institutions of higher learning in the United States and Canada (regardless of the students' nationalities). It awards a scholarship and cash prizes ranging from $250 to ...

From 1974 until 1999, the competition (then known as the American High School Math Examination, or AHSME) had 30 questions and was 90 minutes long, scoring 5 points for correct answers. Originally during this time, 1 point was awarded for leaving an answer blank, however, it was changed in the late 1980s to 2 points.
The MAA sponsors numerous competitions for students, including the William Lowell Putnam Competition for undergraduate students, the online competition series, and the American Mathematics Competitions (AMC) for middle- and high-school students. This series of competitions is as follows: AMC 8: 25 multiple choice questions in 40 minutes
The Putnam Fellows are the top 5 (or 6 in event of a tie) in the annual William Lowell Putnam Mathematical Competition. Pages in category "Putnam Fellows" The following 89 pages are in this category, out of 89 total.
Equation x√y = y√x. The equation produces a graph where the line and curve intersect at . The curve also terminates at (0, 1) and (1, 0), instead of continuing on to infinity. The curved section can be written explicitly as. This equation describes the isocline curve where power functions have slope 1, analogous to the geometric property of ...
This contest, which continues to this day, began in 1935 under the direction of the Mathematical Association of America. Putnam's grandson by the same name, William Lowell Putnam, born 1924, was a geologist, businessman, and climber, and served as the sole trustee of Lowell observatory from 1987 to 2013. Notes
