Putnam Scores refer to the results of the annual William Lowell Putnam Mathematical Competition, a prestigious mathematics competition for undergraduate students in the United States and Canada.
Putnam Scores are calculated based on the number of problems solved correctly, with partial credit given for partially correct solutions. The maximum possible score is 120 points.
The Putnam Competition is open to undergraduate students enrolled in colleges and universities in the United States and Canada. International students can also participate, as long as they meet certain eligibility requirements.
Preparing for the Putnam Competition generally involves studying advanced mathematics, problem-solving techniques, and practicing with past competition problems. Many universities also offer training sessions and study groups for interested students.
Participating in the Putnam Competition can provide valuable experience in problem-solving and critical thinking, as well as opportunities for networking and recognition from top universities and employers. It can also help students develop their mathematical skills and prepare for graduate studies in mathematics or related fields.
