Abstract
|
|
|
Various problems arising in games and sports will be analyzed mathematically. For example: How many shuffles to mix a deck of cards? Given the solution, can you find the problem? When is a team eliminated? How should teams be ranked? How should a runner vary his speed to achieve shortest time? How do world records vary with time? What is the probability of heads in a coin toss? Does it pay to exercise? |
