TEAM OF USU MATH STUDENTS PLACES IN PRESTIGIOUS
CONTEST
A team of six Utah State University students placed 46th in
the prestigious Putnam math exam, considered the most difficult
in the world, according to a Time Magazine report. Harvard University
won first place. This year 476 schools with a total of 3,349
individuals competed, said Chris Coray, USU math instructor
and coach of the Putnam team. USU participants were Eric Widdison,
who placed 246th in the individual competition; Nate Jeppson;
Karen Perry; Brian Gleason; Robert Berry; and Serge Ballif.
All six finished in the top half of all the scores. The most
common score on the test, which offers 120 possible points,
is zero, Coray said. (Deseret News, 04/29/03) Click on: http://deseretnews.com/dn/view/0,1249,485033486,00.html
