Meets:    M 1:10–3pm, STEM Lobby
Instructor:    Eric Moorhouse,   Ross 216.

On Monday, December 1, we will wrap up discussion on all twelve practice problem sheets (below). Which are your favorite problems, and which ones would you most like to see solved?

The Putnam Exam takes place this Saturday, December 6, 8:30am-4:30pm, in the CASM (basement of Ross Hall). You must arrive by 8:15am because we have some pre-exam arrangements to take care of and instructions to go over, all of which need to be completed before the exam begins. I will be here with the west-facing entrance propped open (by the handicap access ramp). Please bring your favorite writing implements, snacks, beverages, whatever, but no calculators. For security reasons, your lunch will be provided by the department and we will stay together during that time.
