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 ...
It is “the most prestigious” mathematical competition in the world. The first IMO was held in Romania in 1959. It has since been held annually, except in 1980. More than 100 countries participate. Each country sends a team of up to six students, [2] plus one team leader, one deputy leader, and observers. [3]
Math 55. Math 55 is a two-semester freshman undergraduate mathematics course at Harvard University founded by Lynn Loomis and Shlomo Sternberg. The official titles of the course are Studies in Algebra and Group Theory (Math 55a) [1] and Studies in Real and Complex Analysis (Math 55b). [2] Previously, the official title was Honors Advanced ...
Bjorn Poonen and Ravi Vakil (who are profs and help teach the Bay Area Math Circle) worked with Kiran Kedlaya to put out the most recent book of Putnam problems. From another perspective, I have to assume that eventually someone will put together a list of IMO teams from the US (again, it's only 5-6 kids a year, and it hasn't been going on as ...
Fact–value distinction. The fact–value distinction is a fundamental epistemological distinction described between: [1] Statements of fact ( positive or descriptive statements ), based upon reason and physical observation, and which are examined via the empirical method. Statements of value ( normative or prescriptive statements ), which ...
