He also won the competition in 2018.
In addition to Dasari, the four other finalists in the competition were: Jefferson Casado, Hazleton Area Academy of Sciences; Alexander Lindenbaum, Pocono Mountain East High School; Haylee Merloa, Hazleton Area Academy of Sciences; and Andy Yin, Wyoming Seminary Preparatory School.
The University’s Mathematics Department hosted the Integration Bee during the spring semester on campus. 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.
