Natural Sciences 191CNS82 - FYS- Math of Fantasy Football

What is the best way to set my lineup? How does the history of a player impact their performance in their next game? Is it better to accept this trade or decline it based on the players on my roster? How can I make roster decisions from a mathematical standpoint? We will discuss methods to evaluate decisions in order to make the best choice and how the best option may change under different circumstances. The concepts learned in this course will extend far beyond fantasy football, but this will provide us with a hands-on, approachable, and fun example to apply these ideas.

Open to Natural Sciences Freshman with a declared major or on the Natural Sciences Exploratory Track.
