I'd re-phrase it:
「"However, given its selection of problems, its organization, and its level; tutorials or problem-solving seminars would be an ideal choice, particularly those geared toward the Putnam exam & other high-level mathematical contests."」

That semi-colon should not be there.

@msc545 D—, you're right.

I tried to re-trace the grammar-rules I used for this reasoning, but it seems I merged 2rules together while altering them. Also, using a comma instead of the semicolon works in normal, everyday life. It seems my study of Programming introduced (extreme!) sensitivity to the suddenly different use of the comma, when all commas beforehand were to link ideas in a listing, while the next was not subject to the list. It seems so wrong to me now, but I do remember using a comma for listings as subordinate-clauses, even years ago with out much complaint.

Good eye!
