威廉·洛厄尔·普特南数学竞赛
威廉·洛厄尔·普特南数学竞赛，通常简称为普特南竞赛，是美国和加拿大高等教育机构注册的本科大学生的年度数学竞赛（没有国籍限制）。它为顶尖学生颁发奖学金和现金奖励，从 250 美元到 2,500 美元不等，为顶尖学校颁发 5,000 美元到 25,000 美元，此外，考试成绩的前五名（被指定为普特南會員），在哈佛获得最高12,000美元的奖学金（Putnam Fellow Prize Fellowship），[1]得分前100名的个人选手名字会被刊登在美国数学月刊（按字母顺序排列），前500名选手的姓名和地址会被发送给所有参与机构。它以世界上最负盛名的大学生数学竞赛被广泛认可，其难度从尽管有数学系学生参与其中然中位数仍常常为零可见一斑（满分120分）。
该竞赛于1927年开始，由伊丽莎白·洛厄尔·普特南为纪念她的丈夫威廉·洛厄尔·普特南(William Lowell Putnam)设立。考试自1938年以来以每年一次的频率进行（特例为1943、1944、1945停办，1958年两次），管理方为美国数学协会。
比赛方式
普特南比赛通常在12月的第一个星期六举行, 由两次3个小时的考试组成, 由午休时间分开，一般学校会提供免费午餐。考试由参与学校的教职员工监督。这些问题通常需具备大学数学的基础知识才能解决, 但需要广泛的创造性思维。
12个问题中的每一题都值10分, 零以上的最常见分数是10分（完整答案/证明）, 9分（几乎完整的答案/证明）, 以及1分（答案的最开始一部分，一般较为容易）。在前几年, 这12个问题各值1分, 没有给予部分得分。考试被普遍认为是极度困难的，通常只有专门学习数学的学生才能看懂并尝试。 但中位分数通常是零或一分, 截至2010年, 只有4个滿分。2003年, 在3615名参加考试的学生中, 1024名考生(28%) 得了10分或10分以上, 若可以取得42分便足以达到最高的百分位（>=99%）。
在参与的学院（大学）, 任何希望参加考试的学生都可以参加考试 (受学校考试次数的限制); 在2019年之前，学校的队伍由三名事先指定的个人组成。到2019年为止，每支队伍的得分是3名队员的排名之和，累积排名最低的队伍获胜。最终的结果完全有可能（甚至是在一些机构中常见的结果），表明选择了 "错误" 的团队--即一些不在官方团队中的学生的得分超过了正式团队成员。例如, 在 2010年, 麻省理工学院在考试前5名的得分手中有两名, 在24强中有 7名, 而加州理工在前五名中只有一名学生, 在前24名中只有4名学生;但加州理工排名第一, 而麻省理工则位居第二。
按照这个顺序, 前五名的团队会依次赢得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, 团队成员会分别获得1000美金，800美金，600美金，400美金和200美金。
前五名的个人得分手名叫普特南會員, 奖金为 2,500 美元。第一名的队伍的学校获得25000美金的奖励。排名第一的队伍的队员以及伊丽莎白·洛厄尔·普特南奖的获得者, 都能获得 1,000 美元。第六至第15名的人可获得 1,000 美元, 接下来的10人可获得250美元。前100名学生的名字发表在《美国数学月刊》上, 考试成绩在考试结束后的4月初公布。
许多普特南會員已成为数学和其他领域的杰出研究人员, 其中包括三名菲尔兹奖得主--米尔诺（同时也是阿贝尔奖的获得主）、蒙福德和奎伦--以及两位诺贝尔物理学奖获得者--理查德·費曼和威尔逊。

普特南會員
自第一场比赛以来, 考试成绩最高的5人 (或6名, 如果打成平局) 被评为普特南會員。在前五名中, 普特南會員没有排名。学生不得参加普特南比赛4次以上。例如, 如果一个高三学生选择正式参与, 她实际上选择放弃他在大学的几年资格之一 (见加布里埃尔·卡罗尔)。这使得四次成为普特南會員更加了不起。在比赛历史上, 只有8名学生曾4次担任普特南會員, 另有23人三次获奖。下表列出了这些学生:
