About us
The Singapore Precollegiate Integration Bee is Singapore’s first nationwide integration bee for junior college students and secondary school students proficient in integration techniques.
Our mission and goals are:
- to let students enjoy the process of thinking and talking about challenging mathematics, and the problem solving skills required, and to promote a deeper appreciation of recreational mathematics;
- to let students have fun learning with friends, and build a community among mathematics enthusiasts.
Competition format
Round 1
Round 1 is a two-hour written test, where teams discuss and collaborate to tackle 30 integrals of varying difficulty.
Round 2
Round 2 takes on a double-elimination tournament, where teams face off against each other in evaluating integrals quickly.
Why register?
For the fun of it! SPIB is not another boring, grindy mathematics competition. It aims to spark curiosity, reward creative thinking, and bring together people who genuinely enjoy solving problems.
By participating, also you stand a chance to win glory for your team, and prizes!
Awards and prizes
Teams that perform well in SPIB’s Round 1 will receive Gold Awards, Silver Awards, Bronze Awards or Honourable Mentions, with each award based on a minimum score. These awards are independent of the results of Round 2.

These prizes include TI-Nspire™ CX II graphing calculators (both with a computer algebra system and without it) and TI-84 graphing calculators, graciously sponsored by Texas Instruments:
- Grand Integrators: 3 units of TI-Nspire™ CX II CAS graphing calculators
- Second place: 3 units of TI-Nspire™ CX II-T graphing calculators
- Third place: 3 units of TI-84 graphing calculators
Testimonials
Exceptional!
SPIB was a really great first integration bee experience, and definitely challenged my team quite a lot. Although we didn’t do as well as we wanted, we are still extremely happy with everything and were very excited by watching others solve integrals!
Highly recommend!
SPIB was a good way to bond with your friends. The journey my team embarked on to prepare was very enjoyable and us integral nerds were definitely more than excited to attend.
Five stars!
For Round 1, we walked in hoping for the best. The questions given were very challenging, but at the same time very fun. We walked out of that hall very happy not only because we knew we would get into Round 2, but the fact that it was happiness experienced like never before.
