1. William Lowell Putnam Competition is held every year in December.
   If you want to get a good result ( and we in the department of mathematics pray for good results from   our Hopkins team), the spring semester is the best time to begin your preparation for this difficult contest. The main purpose of this course is to provide training/coaching services for potential participants of this competition, i.e. a coverage of some problem solving techniques, theory and references. 

Every 3 weeks, each student will make a presentation of a problem.  Team work is encouraged. The weekly homework assignment will contain 5 challenging problems.   Grading policy depends on your participation.

2.  Every student who likes math is warmly welcomed. Depending on the audience preferences, we'll solve some beautiful problems from the textbook. Or we'll try to understand the fascinating approach of the 2 obsessive math problems  : ruler and compass constructions and "formulas" for the roots of polynomials.(galois theory) Please visit the links from the previous page.
