Events for October 7, 2008
Math Club Talk
- Location: Myers Hall, Room 334
(12:20 PM - 1:10 PM)
- Attachment 1: Math Club Flyer
The AU Math Club will host the AU Putnam Team who will present “Counting: How Hard Can It Be?” on Tuesday, Oct. 7, 2008, from 12:20 to 1:10 p.m. in Myers Hall, Room 334. Pizza and soda will be served. All are welcome to attend.
The William Lowell Putnam Mathematical Competition is held on the first Saturday of each December. During each of two three-hour sessions, participants attempt to solve six, 10-point problems. The top score is usually around 100 out of 120, while the median score for the over 3,000 contestants is typically close to zero!
Alfred University has a proud tradition of excellence in the competition over the past few years: Our team ranked within the top 19%, 18% and 22% in 2003, 2005 and 2006, respectively, of all participating schools. Phan Le (’09) scored an impressive 20 points on the 2007 exam which placed him in the top 500 out of 3753 students who took the exam. Phan’s score is the highest individual score earned by an Alfred University student.
The AU Putman Team members are Jack (Attack) Chan, (Jammin’) Benjamin Esham, Phan (The Man) Le, and Brett (I Have a Question) Williams.
