| William Lowell Putnam Mathematical Competition |
From left to right: David Harden (graduate assistant), John Karpis, Juan Bustos, Frank Rodriguez, Daniel GonzalezThe 69th annual William Lowell Putnam Competition, sponsored by the Mathematical Association of America, was held on Saturday, December 6, 2008. Approximately 3800 undergraduates from 500 schools across the United States and Canada were competing.
Twenty University of Miami students participated in the contest. The University of Miami competition site was 145 Cox Science Center. The morning session ran from 10am to 1pm, and the afternoon session ran from 3pm to 6pm.
During each fall semester, Putnam practice sessions are held on Friday afternoons from 4pm to 6pm in 506 Ungar. All students are welcome at these informal practices, whether they are taking the current year's Putnam exam or not.
The Department of Mathematics maintains a small library of problem-solving books in 515 Ungar, and students are welcome to borrow these at any time.
Some details about last year's competition, and an archive of past problems are available online.

First place: Tie between Yi Jun Pan and Daniel Gonzalez with perfect scores of 20.
Third place: Juan Bustos with a score of 19.
In the team competition, the Math majors beat the Engineering majors by a score of 69 to 68. The top five individual scores were used to compute the team scores.

Four of the top finishers in the Ibis contest, senior John Karpis, sophomores Juan Busto and Yi Jun Pan, and freshman Frank Rodriguez, advanced to form the UM integral team that participated in the statewide student integral contest sponsored by the Florida Section of the Mathematical Association of America.
The statewide contest was held at Florida Gulf Coast University on February 14, 2009. The contest is open to any undergraduate attending any college or university in the state of Florida. This year, a total of 13 students participated.
Our UM students dominated the competition. John Karpis placed first, Juan Bustos placed second, and Yi Jun Pan and Frank Rodriguez finished in a tie for third.
