Since PUMaC is a student-run competition, it relies heavily on the effort given by its volunteers. The following is the list of people who are currently involved in making PUMaC 2020* a success.

 

Igor Medvedev
Co-Director

Igor is a junior from Serbia majoring in math. He really enjoyed participating in math competitions and wants to help offer that experience to younger students. He was a Problem Writer in the previous two years. He is a fan of anime, board games, and likes to play League.

Aleksa Milojevic
Problem Czar

Aleksa is a sophomore from Serbia, having the intention to major in math. After many math competitions he did as a high-schooler, he decided to switch roles and start writing problems. Having shed uncountable tears over the points lost on these competitions because of the small mistakes, he tries to be a lenient grader. Before he gets started on his assignments, he enjoys jogging in nature, and after he finishes his assignments, he makes sure to watch some movies.
