The William Lowell Putnam Mathematical Competition by and L. M. Kelly A. M. Gleason, R. E. Greenwood (PDF)

Description

Back by popular demand, we are pleased to reissue this outstanding collection of problems and solutions from the Putnam Competitions covering the years 1938-1964. Problemists the world over, including all past and future Putnam Competitors, will revel in mastering the difficulties posed by this collection of problems from the first 25 William Lowell Putnam Competitions. Solutions to all 347 problems are given. In some cases multiple solutions are included, some which contestants could reasonably be expected to find under examination conditions, and others which are more elegant or utilize more sophisticated techniques. Valuable references and historical comments on many of the problems are presented. The book concludes with four articles on the Putnam competition written by G. Birkhoff, L. E. Bush, L. J. Mordell, and L. M. Kelly which are reprinted from the American Mathematical Monthly. There is great appeal here for all; teachers, students, and all those who love good problems and see them as an entree to beautiful and powerful ideas.

User’s Reviews

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐A terrific compilation of the first years of the Putnam exam and great solutions.

⭐Not that the problems and solutions arent available somewhere else, but the book itself is a gem — with the ‘official’ problem statements and solutions, this is more than just a collection of problems, this is a mathematical historical record. I’m glad that MAA takes the trouble of reissuing this old gem (in paperback no less).
