Math Integration Bee Planned for April 25 at University

Area high school students can compete for cash prizes while enhancing their math skills at The University of Scranton’s ninth annual Math Integration Bee Monday, April 25, at 4:15 p.m. in the Mcllhenny Ballroom of the DeNaples Center. The competition, which also has a college division open to area college students, is free of charge.

The competition can help students improve their skills for Advanced Placement mathematics tests. The format is similar to a spelling bee, but Integration Bee participants solve a type of calculus problem to find antiderivatives of functions.

Each participant advancing to the final round of competition is awarded a $25 prize. The winner of the high school division and the college division each receive an additional $75 prize.

High school students participating who are under the age of 18 at the time of the competition must be accompanied by a parent, guardian or faculty chaperone.

The Integration Bee is hosted by the University’s Mathematics Department. Information and registration is available on the University’s Mathematics Department webpage (click here).
