April 13th saw the return of the Math Department’s Integration Bee. After an online qualifying round, 9 students participated in person for the first place prize of $125. The first round knocked 7 students out of the competition. This left 2 students vying for first place. Third place went to Isaiah Chastain, a freshman computer engineering major from Dickson, TN. The final integrand of the day was exp(x) sinh(x). After a failed, but valiant effort from Charles Hasting of Maryville, top prize was claimed by Logan Schenk, a mechanical engineering major from Shelbyville, TN.
Many thanks go to Drs. Motoya Machida, Brian O’Connor, Yung-way Liu, Sam Narimetla, Tommy Elliott and special guest judge Richard Savage.
