Course Description:
The purpose of this course is to develop and learn to apply analytical skills that are useful in nearly every career. Although the course focuses on applications in the sports context and uses approaches that are rapidly becoming important in the business of sports analytics, this is not a survey course about issues in sports. Instead, this class is about storytelling and logic. An understanding and interest in both sports and numbers will make this class good. General curiosity will make it great. Lectures and readings in the course will not provide students with complete answers to the myriad of interesting questions we will consider. Hopefully, students will receive well-reasoned analyses that further their understanding and assist them in knowing how, not what, to think. Students may leave the course with more questions than answers about issues both on and off the field in sports, but they should have a better understanding of how to think productively about these issues and have the skills to better address these questions.
