1/26/2010
Seniors Matt Rognlie and Peng Shi were part of the three-man team http://www.dukemagazine.duke.edu/dukemag/issues/010210/figure-team.html that participated in the 2009 William Lowell Putnam Mathematical Competition, Dec. 4th. The results will be announced in the spring. Matt and Peng are not the first A. B.s to participate in the Putnam. Andrew Dittmer (’98) was part of the Duke team in 1993 when it broke Harvard’s 8-year winning streak. Melanie Wood (’03) participated in her freshman year and in her senior year, she became the first American-born female to become a Putnam Fellow http://www.dukemagazine.duke.edu/dukemag/issues/010210/figure-where.html.
