威廉·洛厄爾·普特南數學競賽
威廉·洛厄爾·普特南數學競賽，通常簡稱為普特南競賽，是美國和加拿大高等教育機構註冊的本科大學生的年度數學競賽（沒有國籍限制）。它為頂尖學生頒發獎學金和現金獎勵，從 250 美元到 2,500 美元不等，為頂尖學校頒發 5,000 美元到 25,000 美元，此外，考試成績的前五名（被指定為普特南會員），在哈佛獲得最高12,000美元的獎學金（Putnam Fellow Prize Fellowship），[1]得分前100名的個人選手名字會被刊登在美國數學月刊（按字母順序排列），前500名選手的姓名和地址會被發送給所有參與機構。它以世界上最負盛名的大學生數學競賽被廣泛認可，其難度從儘管有數學系學生參與其中然中位數仍常常為零可見一斑（滿分120分）。
該競賽於1927年開始，由伊利沙伯·洛厄爾·普特南為紀念她的丈夫威廉·洛厄爾·普特南(William Lowell Putnam)設立。考試自1938年以來以每年一次的頻率進行（特例為1943、1944、1945停辦，1958年兩次），管理方為美國數學協會。
比賽方式
普特南比賽通常在12月的第一個星期六舉行, 由兩次3個小時的考試組成, 由午休時間分開，一般學校會提供免費午餐。考試由參與學校的教職員工監督。這些問題通常需具備大學數學的基礎知識才能解決, 但需要廣泛的創造性思維。
12個問題中的每一題都值10分, 零以上的最常見分數是10分（完整答案/證明）, 9分（幾乎完整的答案/證明）, 以及1分（答案的最開始一部分，一般較為容易）。在前幾年, 這12個問題各值1分, 沒有給予部分得分。考試被普遍認為是極度困難的，通常只有專門學習數學的學生才能看懂並嘗試。 但中位分數通常是零或一分, 截至2010年, 只有4個滿分。2003年, 在3615名參加考試的學生中, 1024名考生(28%) 得了10分或10分以上, 若可以取得42分便足以達到最高的百分位（>=99%）。
在參與的學院（大學）, 任何希望參加考試的學生都可以參加考試 (受學校考試次數的限制); 在2019年之前，學校的隊伍由三名事先指定的個人組成。到2019年為止，每支隊伍的得分是3名隊員的排名之和，累積排名最低的隊伍獲勝。最終的結果完全有可能（甚至是在一些機構中常見的結果），表明選擇了 "錯誤" 的團隊--即一些不在官方團隊中的學生的得分超過了正式團隊成員。例如, 在 2010年, 麻省理工學院在考試前5名的得分手中有兩名, 在24強中有 7名, 而加州理工在前五名中只有一名學生, 在前24名中只有4名學生;但加州理工排名第一, 而麻省理工則位居第二。
按照這個順序, 前五名的團隊會依次贏得25,000美金、2,0000美金、15,000美金、15,000美金、10,000美金和5,000美元, 團隊成員會分別獲得1000美金，800美金，600美金，400美金和200美金。
前五名的個人得分手名叫普特南會員, 獎金為 2,500 美元。第一名的隊伍的學校獲得25000美金的獎勵。排名第一的隊伍的隊員以及伊利沙伯·洛厄爾·普特南獎的獲得者, 都能獲得 1,000 美元。第六至第15名的人可獲得 1,000 美元, 接下來的10人可獲得250美元。前100名學生的名字發表在《美國數學月刊》上, 考試成績在考試結束後的4月初公佈。
許多普特南會員已成為數學和其他領域的傑出研究人員, 其中包括三名菲爾茲獎得主--米爾諾（同時也是阿貝爾獎的獲得主）、蒙福德和奎倫--以及兩位諾貝爾物理學獎獲得者--理查德·費曼和威爾遜。

普特南會員
自第一場比賽以來, 考試成績最高的5人 (或6名, 如果打成平局) 被評為普特南會員。在前五名中, 普特南會員沒有排名。學生不得參加普特南比賽4次以上。例如, 如果一個高三學生選擇正式參與, 她實際上選擇放棄他在大學的幾年資格之一 (見加布里埃爾·卡羅爾)。這使得四次成為普特南會員更加了不起。在比賽歷史上, 只有8名學生曾4次擔任普特南會員, 另有23人三次獲獎。下表列出了這些學生:
