### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    A good read on math and football.
  

*by S***N on Reviewed in the United States on February 10, 2018*

Soccermatics: Mathematic Adventures in the Beautiful Game (2016) by David Sumpter is a fine read that looks at how math can be used to explain and improve football. Sumpter is a professor of Applied Math in Sweden who does quite a lot of research helping football teams. The book looks are how graphs can be used to look at team passing. There is a very well named chapter 'How Slime Mould Built Barcelona'. There is a section on betting markets and strategies that can be used with them. The book also has a section on how statisticians and mathematicians are being employed now by football teams. The book is well written and has good explanations of the math involved. For anyone interested in the use of math in sport or in football the book is well worth a read.

    Good to see it is not only the players having adventures in soccer!!
  

*by B***N on Reviewed in the United States on September 29, 2016*

Very enjoyable read with a range of good information on the game and mathematical approaches to analysing parts of it.  Of particular interest was the cross pollination of research into animals with football.  The book was broken up into easily digestible chunks that held the interest from start to finish and were not overly academic in nature.  The layers within each chunk were built up sequentially and left one thinking that one knew something of the process, the maths involved and the utility of the work at the end of the chunk.Interspersed with good elements of humility and humour I found it well written for the layman (me) and the depth there for budding mathematicians, football managers and researchers. Worth the cost of purchase for me.  Looking forward to seeing more from this author.

    Science friendly

Great book! As someone who works on public health-epidemiology I'm used to statistical models, this book illustrate how soccer can be use as means of explaining this models as well as how it can enrich research in all areas. Is good in math and soccer level, is great to give you insights, particulary if you do research in any area or if you like soccer and wanna get into the somewhat cryptic math of its statistics in order to filter the bs from media expert. If you what you are looking for is "magic bullet" book for gambling, this won't be case.
