Contributed Paper Session
Mathematics and Sports
Availability of play-by-play statistics, video-based spatial data, and wearable technology data have led to innovative sports analytics studies. This research is impacting all aspects of sports: strategy, player evaluation, ranking methods, marketing, etc. Research presentations, expository talks, preliminary reports, and pedagogical contributions are all welcome in this session. Projects accessible to or involving undergraduate students are particularly encouraged for submission.
