Can you really keep your eye on the ball? How is massive data
collection changing sports? Sports science courses are growing in
popularity. The author's course at Roanoke College is a mix of
physics, physiology, mathematics, and statistics. Many students of
both genders find it exciting to think about sports. Sports
problems are easy to create and state, even for students who do not
live sports 24/7. Sports are part of their culture and knowledge
base, and the opportunity to be an expert on some area of sports is
invigorating. This should be the primary reason for the growth of
mathematics of sports courses: the topic provides intrinsic
motivation for students to do their best work. From the Author:
"The topics covered in Sports Science and Sports Analytics courses
vary widely. To use a golfing analogy, writing a book like this is
like hitting a drive at a driving range; there are many directions
you can go without going out of bounds. At the driving range, I
pick out a small target to focus on, and that is what I have done
here. I have chosen a sample of topics I find very interesting.
Ideally, users of this book will have enough to choose from to suit
whichever version of a sports course is being run." "The book is
very appealing to teach from as well as to learn from. Students
seem to have a growing interest in ways to apply traditionally
different areas to solve problems. This, coupled with an enthusiasm
for sports, makes Dr. Minton's book appealing to me."-Kevin Hutson,
Furman University
