摘要：I present the development of a one-semester undergraduate course devoted to operations research (O.R.) and statistical methodologies in sports, specifically targeted for first-year collegiate students. In particular, this class explores decision analysis and linear regression using sports as the sole basis of application. Term projects and oral presentations permit student groups the opportunity to investigate specific quantitative applications in this field. Essentially, I endeavor to couple a student's inherent interest in sports with training in basic analytical approaches.
