MATH 211 - Sports Analytics

(3 credits)

Sports analytics refers to the use of data and quantitative methods to measure performance and make decisions to gain advantage in the competitive sports arena. This course builds on the Business Analytics core course and is designed to help students to develop and apply analytical skills that are useful in business, using sports as the application area. These skills include critical thinking, mathematical modelling, statistical analysis, predictive analytics, game theory, optimization and simulation. These skills will be applied to sports in this course but are equally useful in many areas of business. As needed.
