Problem Sources

Most problems we have assigned are from past Putnam exams or past British Mathematical Olympiads. The Putnam problems and solutions are available on-line. See the links from the main course page. British Olympiad problems are in a book in Dr. Larget's office. Some problems are from alternative source.
