Course overview
The purpose of this course is to introduce the student to the use of mathematics, statistics, and probability in the analysis of sports performance, sports records, and strategy. Topics include mathematical analysis of the physics of sports and the determinations of optimal strategies.
Our objective is for students to use these tools over the duration of the course to develop new diagnostic statistics and strategies for sports.
