MATHS IN SPORTS

IMPORTANCE OF MATHS IN SPORTS:

Maths is used in everything and anything. Can you think
of playing any game without Maths in it. See the numbers
used in a game are contribution from the Mathematics.
Take a game; for example : Cricket, In it we count runs,
we calculate how much runs is needed in an over( run
rate) so as to beat the opponent. Multiplication , Division,
Addition, Subtraction we make use these common things
in most of the sports. The graps that analyse different
teams are all from Maths. Averages, Economy rate, Run
rates, graphs for comparison, all require maths. Take any
game, atleast you will need to count how much did one
team score. Think of field events also we need to know at
how much speed in average must I run so that I can beat
the other run. At what angle must I jump to cover longer
or higher distance... We use maths unknowingly in many
areas.
In other games such as Basketball,Bowling, Pool we need
to know at what angles must I launch my ball/stick so that
it is achieved correctly. A great snooker player always
analyses the geometry before striking.
Another sport for example, Car Bet, Horse Racing , most
of the persons give more money to the car/horse which
have high probability of winning. Note: I used probability
and not possibility. Probability is yet another contribution
from Maths field a systematic way to analyse the winning
or losing probability by lookin at the various
circumstances such as horse power, speed, weather,
climate,etc.
