The 85th Putnam Mathematical Competition
Fall 2024
The 85th Putnam Mathematical Competition
Saturday, December 7, 2024
The Putnam examination tests originality, technical competence and familiarity with the formal theories embodied in undergraduate mathematics. Questions cut across the bounds of various disciplines and may include self-contained questions that do not fit into any of the usual categories. These self-contained questions can involve elementary concepts from group theory, set theory, graph theory, lattice theory, number theory or cardinal arithmetic. The Putnam competition takes place annually on the first Saturday of December from 8 to 11 a.m. and continues from 1 to 4 p.m. Participants work individually and take part in both morning and afternoon sessions. Students who already have a bachelor’s degree are ineligible to compete. Otherwise, students may compete up to four times in their undergraduate career. Last year, thousands of students across the United States and Canada took the exam on December 2, 2023. Go to https://maa.org/putnam/ for more information.
