Mathematics and Sports Contributed Paper Session
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.
Our audience will consist of mostly faculty and students (including undergraduates as observed in previous meetings) who are interested in applying mathematics to sports. There will also be many faculty attendees who are interested in ideas to incorporate Sports into their courses.
The session will follow the standard format of speaker presentations followed by Q&A.
