Welcome to the Columbia Integration Bee contest page!
The contest consists of two rounds, a Qualifying Round and a Final Tournament, as follows.
Qualifying Round
In the qualifying round you will have one hour to solve as many integrals as you can from a list of 20+ integrals. Points are given only for complete, correct answers. Top 12 scores qualify for the single elimination round. The next four top scores are kept as reserves in case any of the top 12 are unable to attend.
Final Tournament
The final tournament is based on a 12 player bracket style playoff, where the top four contestants in the qualifying round are given byes in the first round. Participants in the simple elimination round compete head-to-head, at the blackboard. The competitors in the final tournament receive consolation prizes. The winner will be awarded the title of Columbia’s Grand Integrator!
