MIT's team won first place at the 86th William Lowell Putnam Mathematical Competition for the sixth consecutive year. Four of the five top-ranked Putnam Fellows were MIT students, including Luke Robitaille, a four-time Fellow. Sophomore Jessica Wan won the Elizabeth Lowell Putnam Prize for the second consecutive year. MIT's success is attributed to its Putnam seminar (18.A34), which focuses on problem-solving skills and community building among math enthusiasts.
