Beyond all the facts and figures, there is just one question at the heart of science: what is the best way to think about the world? Yet in our everyday lives, this is something we rarely consider. How often do we wonder about our own thinking and how it might impact the way we approach our daily decisions? How it might help or hinder our relationships, our careers, or even our health?Acclaimed mathematician David Sumpter has spent decades pon...

They know something you don't know. They work inside investment banks, betting companies and social media giants. What are the secrets held by mathematicians and what can everyone else learn from them?Their advantage can be reduced to a small number of equations. Ten of them. And, surprisingly, it isn't their technical details that give them an edge. It is the way these equations allow them to view problems from a different angle -- a way of s...

Statistiche, complesse geometrie disegnate in campo, strategie per trovare il prossimo Lionel Messi: il calcio di oggi, basato su numeri e schemi, è sicuramente il più matematico degli sport. Ma come interpretare questi dati? E in che modo possono essere utili? La risposta è nei modelli matematici applicati in biologia, fisica ed economia. Come funzionano le geometrie del centrocampo e del tiki-taka del Barcellona? Che rapporto c'è tra una col...

Algorithms are running our society and we don't really know what they are up to.Our increasing reliance on technology and the internet has opened a window for mathematicians and data researchers to gaze through into our lives. Using the data they are constantly collecting about where we travel, where we shop, what we buy and what interests us, they can begin to predict our daily habits. But how reliable is this data? Without understanding what...

Jemand mag ein Dribbelku¿nstler sein oder ein Flankengott, aber ohne eine Struktur auf dem Platz nu¿tzt das wenig. Fußball ist mehr als Statistik und Taktik, mehr als Ausnahmespieler und mehr als der unbedingte Wille zu gewinnen. Fußball ist mehr als ein Spiel. Mathematik auch. David Sumpter entwirft in seinem Buch eine Fußball-Mathematik, die weit über Alex Fergusons Taktiken und Lionel Messis Tempodribblings hinausgeht.

Football - the most mathematical of sports - is riddled with numbers, patterns and shapes. How to make sense of them? The answer lies in mathematical modelling, an applied science with applications in a host of biological systems. Soccermatics brings the two together in a thrilling, mind-bending synthesis.What's the similarity between an ant colony and Total Football, Dutch style? How is the Barcelona midfield linked geometrically? And how can...
