Competitions
Putnam Competition
Many Rutgers students have done creditable work over the years in the William Lowell Putnam Mathematical Competition. In the 83rd competition, held on December 3, 2022, the Rutgers team (top 3 scores) finished 21st out of the 456 participating colleges and universities from across North America. For more information see the Putnam Announcement of Winners .
Andrew Krapivin had the highest score from Rutgers, placing him in the top 125 of the 3,415 students who took the exam. Four more Rutgers students were in the top 300: Justin Kim, George Tsoukalas, Michael Schleppy and Eric Yang. Their four scores were within a 4 point range of each other, and our team score is a reflection of all of 5 of these students' efforts.
