It Was 20 Years Ago Today

Wednesday, December 6, 2006.  Twenty years ago today, the annual William Lowell Putnam mathematics competition was held.  See the questions for the 1986 competition.  (Link is to a PDF.)  I tell a little bit about the competition, and my relationship to math over the years.Today's episode music is from "Confusion," by Commander Yo.  Theme music composed and performed by Marc Rose.
