Seven HWS students joined the 2004 Putnam Mathematics Competition on Saturday, Dec. 4. The annual nationwide contest requires each student to create solutions to 12 complex mathematics questions, and draws over 3,500 contestants from colleges and universities around the U.S. This year's HWS team members were Amanda Allen, Joseph Bochynski, Carla DeLucia, Emily Melchior, David Niedzwiecki, Robert Reid, and Avram Williams. Announcement of winners is due in March. A copy of the exam questions will be available on the Math Dept. Web site.
