MY PASSION PROJECT

PASSION PROJECT : MATHS IN SPORTS

EVERYONE NOW DAYS ARE GLUED TO THEIR PHONES , BUT WE ALL AGREE THAT PLAYING SPORTS OUTSIDE IS BETTER AND WITH THAT I WOULD LIKE TO TALK ABOUT MY PASSION PLAYING SPORTS OF ALL KIND. I WILL BE INTEGRATING IT WITH MATHS. NOT MANY PEOPLE KNOW HOW IMPORTANT MATHS IS IN SPORTS.

LETS TAKE AN EXAMPLE OF A FAMOUS SPORT 

1. CRICKET

THERE'S MATHS IN VARIOUS ASPECTS OF CRICKET SUCH AS THE NUMBERS USED IN TELLING THE NUMBER OF RUNS, OVERS, SCOREBOARDS IN A MATCH , AND CAN HELP IN FIELDING POSITION ANOTHER THING BEING THAT THE SHAPE OF THE CRICKET BALL AS IT MAKES IT CURVE DUE TO ITS ROUND SHAPE.

ANOTHER FAMOUS SPORT THAT REQUIRES MATHS IS

2. ICE HOCKEY

IN ICE HOCKEY WE RELY ON MATHS TO HIT THE EXACT SPOT ON THE BOARD TO STRIKE THE PUCK AND PLAYER NEED ROLL THEIR SKATES AGAINST THE ICE SO THEY HAVE CONTROL BECAUSE OF THE ANGLE, THE BLADES ARE HITTING AGAINST THE ICE. THUS, GIVING THE PLAYER MORE CONTROL.GOALTENDING AND SHOOTING INVOLVE LOTS OF MATHS. WHEN THE GOALIE FACES AN ATTACKER ON A BREAKAWAY , THE GOALIE NEEDS TO COME OUT JUST ENOUGH TO "CUT OF THE ANGLES". THIS REQUIRES A LOT OF FAST MATHS. THE ENTIRE PROCESS REQUIRES A THREE-DIMENSIONAL APPLICATION OF MATH AND THE SHOOTING PROCESS ALSO ACCOMPANIES THE MATH APPLICATION.

AND HOW CAN FORGET BASKETBALL AS IT TOO REQUIRES MATHS !

3.BASKETBALL

BASKETBALL IS DEPENDANT ON MATHS AS IT REQUIRES MATHS TO SHOOT THE BALL INSIDE THE HOOP , THE PLAYER MUST CALCULATE THE ANGLE  OF THE BALL THROW SO IT COULD GO INSIDE THE RIM OTHERWISE, THE BALL WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO GO INSIDE THE RIM . EVERYONE KNOWS THAT THE BASKETBALL COURT INCLUDES GEOMETRY AND SO DOES THE BALL. BASKETBALL ALSO REQUIRES ALGEBRA WHICH IS A BRANCH OF MATHS!

LAST BUT NOT THE LEAST , TENNIS IT ALSO, YOU GUESSED HAS MATHS !

4.TENNIS

MATHEMATICS IS USED TO RANK PLAYERS, PLAN TOURNAMENTS, ANALYSE PROBABILITIES, EVALUATE STRATEGIES, AND TRACK AND PREDICT TENNIS BALL TRAJECTORIES. MAJOR TOURNAMENTS USE A SINGLE-ELIMINATION STRUCTURE TO KEEP THE NUMBER OF MATCHES MANAGEABLE. NOT EVERY POINT IN A TENNIS MATCH ENDS UP COUNTING TOWARDS THE OVERALL RESULT.
