The Putnam Mathematical Competition is the premier international math
competition. UW teams have fared well, thanks to a superb prep class
taught by Mathematics professors Ioana Dumitriu and Julia Pevtsova.
Allen School students have often participated, enjoyed it, and done
well. Ioana and Julia asked me to forward to you the announcement below for
this year’s prep class, and to encourage you to participate. It’s a
great experience!
