Please Note: What are the Odds? is this year's math-themed event of the Atlanta Science Festival. This year the focus is on the math of sports. Tickets can be purchased through the Atlanta Science Festival for $10, which wilo entitle the ticket holder to a beer or soft drink.
What are the odds your team will win, and what will the spread be? Our statisticians and mathematicians will help you understand the odds in sports events and how we calculate them. Try out the hands-on demos our team has developed! Sports stats are only one of the many ways math connects with sports. Find out how the wave moves through the audience in a stadium, how math helps perfect sports equipment, how to determine how much a team is worth, and more! We will finish up the night with a round of mathy sports trivia.
Please note your ticket price includes a beer or soft drink!
