SUMMARY:2024 Integration Competition
DESCRIPTION:The Integration Competition (held 4 times in the past at this university\, funded by AARMS)\, is a head-to-head competition\, in which all first-year calculus students are eligible to compete. Integrals of increasing difficulty are projected\, and two students work head to head\, to solve it first. The winner moves on\, and the other student is eliminated. This process moves through successive rounds until only 2 students are left\, solving a challenging problem in integration. This generates excitement about mathematics among first year students\, aids in recruitment of students to the mathematics major program\, and provides motivation for students to engage more deeply with the curriculum in first-year calculus. This event will also serve as an outreach opportunity to connect first-year students with upper-year students\, and to discuss opportunities available to math students.
