Mathematics Club Buzzing with Spooky Integration Bee
Contestants working on the bee.
The NSU Mathematics Club and the Department of Mathematics in the Halmos College of Arts and Sciences hosted the first annual “Spooky Integration Bee” on Wednesday, October 27. This event combined the annual student Integration Bee Competition with a Halloween Costume Contest.
Radleigh Santos, Ph.D., dressed up as “Abelian Grape.”
The Integration Bee featured students using their calculus knowledge to answer integration questions by buzzing in with their answers in front of a lively audience. The champion of the Bee was freshman mathematics major Triet Do. Prizes were awarded to the top three winners of the bee.
The Costume Contest winner was Math Club Faculty Advisor Assistant Professor of Mathematics Radleigh Santos, Ph.D. who dressed up as an “Abelian Grape,” which is a pun rooted in Abstract Algebra. Contestants and audience members enjoyed the food, costumes, and competition.
This event was the first of many events during this year which will include Math Jeopardy, Colloquium Speakers, and Pi Day. For more information about the NSU Mathematics Club and its activities, please contact club president sophomore mathematics major Diana Dancea at dd1868@mynsu.nova.edu.
