High School and College Students Win at University of Scranton’s Integration Bee
Seongjin Park from Wyoming Seminary Preparatory School won the high school division competition at The University of Scranton’s 2016 Math Integration Bee. University of Scranton student Daniel Clark of Scranton won the Integration Bee’s college division. The University’s Mathematics Department hosted the Integration Bee recently on campus.
Five participants in both the high school and college categories moved on to the final round of the competition. In addition to Park, finalists in the high school division were: John Murray from Hazleton Area High School; Hoang Ho from Scranton High School; and Yuegi (Greg) Guan and Connor McGowan, both from Wyoming Seminary Preparatory School.
Other finalists in the college division were: University of Scranton students Zach Fiscus of Scranton; Rob McCloskey of Peckville; Nicole Nardella of Spring Brook Township and Noah Riggenbach of Pocono Lake.
The format for the Integration Bee is similar to a spelling bee, however, participants find antiderivatives of functions of a single real variable. The competition can help high school students improve their skills for Advanced Placement mathematics tests.
