北美优秀数学娃在大学的分布-Putnam 统计

* I use the latest (2019) Putnam result as a proxy to identify schools with math buddies at undergraduate level. Putnam is the premium undergraduate math competition in North America. Top 500s are equivalent to USAMO qualifiers. 

* Some top high school math competitors do not attend Putnam in college. Still most do especially in colleges with strong math competition tradition. 

* This table is most useful to identify peers for high school students performing at top AIME/USAMO qualifier level.
