Congratulations to Heejong Lee, who earned Honorable Mention in the 2016 Putnam Competition. Congratulations also to the UCI team, which ranked 53 out of 415 participating teams.

The William Lowell Putnam competition is an annual mathematics competition for undergraduates across the US and Canada, administered by the Mathematical Association of America. The examination is given in two three-hour sessions of six problems each, and the median score is typically one point out of a possible 120. Twenty-six UCI undergraduates took part in the 77th competition on December 3, 2016. For the problems, solutions, and more results see http://kskedlaya.org/putnam-archive/
