This document discusses the use of mathematics in sports like football. It provides some examples:
- Probabilities, counting, combinations and assessments are common calculations used in sports without realizing it.
- Football requires applications of mathematics - things like the average distance to an opponent, average time for an opponent to run a certain distance, and pressure and force calculations for things like kicking a ball.
- Different types of tournaments use mathematical structures, like round robin tournaments that can be modeled with graph theory and elimination tournaments that have semifinals and finals to determine a winner.
