Integration Challenge at StFX
The integration challenge, modelled on an annual version at MIT, is a one-night event where first-year calculus students sign up to compete head-to-head solving integrals. The competition will run like a tournament in single-knockout format, and integration problems increase in difficulty through each round. Information about mathematics as a choice of major, and research opportunities are also planned at the event. Prizes and certificates are awarded to the top 3 finishers.

StFX Integration Challenge 2019
The Integration Challenge is a competition for solving integrals. Two participants compete head-to-head on an integration question, with the first correct response declared the winner of the round; the opponent is knocked out. With each successive round, the competitors are narrowed down by a factor of 2 until only two remain (plus one consolation round to determine 3rd and 4th place). The event is designed to encourage increased engagement in first-year calculus, and also to provide an avenue to promote…
