Course Description

The fantasy sports market is estimated to be an almost $20 billion dollar industry, with an anticipated jump to ~$50 billion by 2027. Join us as we explore why fantasy football has driven a significant rise in interest in high-level mathematics and computer science. Fantasy football players with advanced degrees in mathematics, statistics, and computer science apply algorithms and advanced statistics to make strategic moves, such as player selection and team management - including draft picks and deciding what players to bench and when. There is a true science to creating a competitive edge. Who has what it takes to claim bragging rights?
