Join us as we welcome Drew Pasteur on the Science of Sports Analytics: Every aspect of 21st century life is data-driven, even sporting events.  Something as simple as predicting the winners of football games can be an entry point to learn about a variety of topics in math and statistics.  The skills involved in sports analytics are often the same ones used in analyzing medical data or a corporation's sales performance.  Come hear about our journey from being a high school coach with an interest in ranking football teams to a college professor with a related website widely followed across Ohio. 

R. Drew Pasteur is Professor of Mathematics at The College of Wooster, and currently Co-Chair of Mathematical & Computational Sciences. He teaches various applied math courses for STEM majors, along with a popular non-majors class focusing on personal finance and the math of voting and politics. While his PhD research was in mathematical biology, much of his research at Wooster has been in sports analytics, an interest that goes back to his years as a high school teacher and coach.
