Many students who like Putnam style math problems also like the sort of coding challenges that the International Collegiate Programming Contest 
presents. See the website of the Washington University Association of Computer Machinery for more information on the ICPC.

The sessions will be coordinated by Carl Bender (cmb at wuphys.wustl.edu), Xiang Tang (xtang at math.wustl.edu) and John McCarthy (mccarthy at math.wustl.edu).
