This page is dedicated to the Washington University Putnam seminar. You will find here relevant information, mostly worksheets used and other things pertaining to preparation for the Putnam competition. However, the seminar is not limited to those who have ambitions in the competition: it is also a place to have fun with mathematics. If your goal is simply to learn and challenge yourself, you're absolutely welcome!
We meet every Friday at between 4 and 6pm, in Cupples I 115; free pizza is offered.
