Football: The Math of the Game

This is the perfect blend of sports and math!  I knew that math was relevant is every facet of life, however, I had no idea the plays called in football used so much algebra.  This book shows exactly how math is used and how important it is, even if your only goal in life is to play a game.  This book shows measurement, area, time, percentages, ratios, geometry, square roots, plot graphs, data charts, prediction, kinetic energy, and velocity–and this doesn’t even cover all of it.  This is amust for any library which has students who think they don’t need math.
