UTM Math Club Inaugural Integration Bee

Bzz bzz bzz! UTM Math Club’s inaugural Integration Bee was a buzzing success! From across MCS, nearly fifty UTM students joined us in MN1270 last April 3, 2023 to compete for the title of Integration Champion (and to enjoy some pizza). In teams of three, participants solved as many integrals as possible within the 45-minute time limit. Some integrals were the type you would see on a MAT136 exam, but others required out-of-the-box thinking! You can view the problem sheet here. An extra-special thank you to Mike Serafin from the UTM Library, for printing FOUR beautiful trophies for our winners to take home.

And the winners are…
