Money from a Pi Mu Epsilon Prize Grant was used to sponsor half of the cash prizes for The University of Scranton's Department of Mathematics's Eleventh Annual Integration Bee on April 25th, 2018. The format for the Integration Bee is similar to a spelling bee, however, instead of spelling words, participants find antiderivatives of functions of a single real variable. The five finalists in the contest received $25 each and the overall champion received an additional $75.
