Review of William Lowell Putnam Book,
By A Customer
This review is from: The William Lowell Putnam Mathematical Competition, Problems and Solutions, 1965-1984 (Hardcover)
This book has the problems and solutions to the Putnam contest from 1965-1984. The editors/authors have taken time to carefully put this book together.The solution to each problem is given, and often times, more than one solution is given. The solutions presented are generally concise and elegant (and correct, of course) - in other words, they are mathematically well written. The book also gives the results - the names of the top five individuals and the top five teams for each year. Also given with each solution is the number of contestants among the top 250 or so who scored 10 points (a perfect score), 9 points, 8 points, ... 1 point - this is useful in estimating the degree of difficulty of the problem. I didn't find any typos, errors, etc. The editors have done a good job with the book. |
