College on Carlton Chin: "The predictive power of mathematics ...
along with his joy of competition, underpins his unique
professional journey from predicting material behavior as an
engineering student at MIT, predicting human behavior as ...
nationally known financial analyst, to predicting athletic
performance as author and contributor to the New York Times." "An
athlete is his own right, numbers and statistics are Carlton's
means to a greater understanding of the sports he loves. In my own
experience as a teacher of engineering, I know that the converse is
also true, that sports can be used to inspire a greater
understanding of science and mathematics." Cover illustration:
Julia Chin's rendition of Elysian Fields in Hoboken, NJ, the
birthplace of organized baseball in the 1840s.
