I'm trying to compile a C program in putty using the <math.h> header. I compile the program with gcc timed.c -o timed -lm but I still keep getting this error.

What OS? Expecting this is a *nix variant, look in /usr/include. Is it there? I believe it should be in there. If so, you could try
gcc -I/usr/include timed.c -o timed -lm

What are you using that supplies gcc as the compiler? What is your development environment?

To clarify, we aren't interested in the local computer, as in the one you are sitting at and typing. We are interested in the computer you connect to. If this is a computer at your school, or in other words, you don't control it, you need to talk to whoever administers those machines.
Here's a way to get more information, to ensure if the problem is on your account or the administration of the machine. We need to find out where gcc is searching for headers. Type gcc -v -c timed.c
You should get a whole dump of output. If you look carefully through the output, you'll see something like #include <...> search starts here: Then you'll see some paths listed. Then you'll see End of search list.
Can you tell us what those listed paths are?

/usr/sfw/include
/usr/sfw/lib/gcc/i386-pc-solaris2.10/3.4.3/include
/usr/include
End of search list.
GNU C version 3.4.3 (csl-sol210-3_4-branch+sol_rpath) (i386-pc-solaris2.10)
compiled by GNU C version 3.4.3 (csl-sol210-3_4-branch+sol_rpath).
I think you mean the first three in bold but I saw some other stuff that had paths in it. Is this what you mean?

You got what I wanted to see. The search paths look sane.
A thought, to confirm something very important. Case sensitivity matters. So are you certain you have #include <math.h>, and not <math.H> or <Math.H> or <MATH.H> or something else?

Yeah I'm pretty positive. This my code below. I use gcc timed.c -o timed -lm to compile it.
#include<stdio.h>
#include<math.h>
int main(void)
{
int i;
for(i=0; i<10000; ++i)
printf("The cosine of pi/%d is %f. \n", i, cos(3.1415/i));
return 0;
}

If you do:
is the file found?
I would consider talking to the lab tech, or your TA, or your professor about why it's not working. This is a job for the people who get paid.
cd /usr/include find . -name math.h -print
