Putnam Exam

Putnam Competition

The William Lowell Putnam Mathematics Exam is offered December 6th, 2025 and taken by undergraduates across the United States and Canada. Problems on the exam are generally very challenging, but not specialized. In other words, they are accessible to students who may not have taken advanced courses.

Weekly Meetings

Fall 2025 Term Meetings: Thursdays, 4pm-5:30pm Starting September 11th to November 13th, Bailey 100

The meetings are informal and fun. While one goal is to help prepare for the exam, the main purpose is to have fun learning and doing mathematics. The meetings may continue into Winter term in preparation for the RIT College Math Competition held in March. More information TBA.
