Are exchange students, that are studying in the US for one year, allowed to enter the Putnam competition?
Cool, thanks.Dragonfall said:Yes. Good luck.
The Putnam Competition is an annual mathematics competition for undergraduate students in the United States and Canada. It is considered one of the most prestigious and challenging mathematics competitions in the world.
To participate in the Putnam Competition as an exchange student, you must be enrolled as a full-time undergraduate student at a college or university in the United States or Canada. You must also be a citizen or permanent resident of either country.
The Putnam Competition consists of two 3-hour sessions, each with 6 challenging mathematical problems. It is held on the first Saturday in December every year, and students are not allowed to use calculators or any other aids during the competition.
Yes, you can prepare for the Putnam Competition by practicing solving challenging mathematical problems and familiarizing yourself with the types of questions that may be asked. You can also attend workshops or study groups at your university to prepare for the competition.
Participating in the Putnam Competition as an exchange student can improve your problem-solving and critical thinking skills, as well as your knowledge of advanced mathematics.
