Calculus Tournament 2016
The third annual Calculus Tournament was held on November 19, 2016 from 4 to 5: 30 PM in the Math Resource Center of the Department of Mathematics. Eleven teams, each with at most 3 students, competed in the tournament to solve eighteen calculus problems. The problems ranged from the history of calculus to differentiation and integration to applications of calculus were selected by Dr. Jeff Beyerl, Math Club Faculty Advisor. The winning team members- Lindsey Hazeslip, Azaryah Wilson, and Connor Wilson- each received a gift certificate for $15. Plans are underway to select a couple of teams to represent UCA at the Math Jeopardy Contest at the Oklahoma- Arkansas Sectional Meetings of the Mathematical Association of America to be held at University Oklahoma in Spring 2017. Pictured here are a few scenes from the tournament.
