Part II : 

Title: Get in the Game: Data Analytics via Sports
Time: 3 p.m., Friday, May 1
Location: Jabara Hall 127
Speaker: Professor Tim Chartier (Davidson College)

Abstract: Sports analytics has gathered tremendous momentum as one of the most dynamic fields. Diving deep into the numbers of sports can be game changing or a framework for data analytics research. What questions can be explored? What actionable insights can be gleaned? From March Madness to national media broadcasts, analytics are becoming increasingly indispensable. Dr. Tim Chartier will discuss outlooks that help with successful analytics, and a variety of questions that can be tackled. He will also share how he leads students to dig into sports via data and their success across the NBA, MLB, NFL, NASCAR, ESPN and his own college teams.

Following Friday's talk, please join us for an informal Q&A session with light refreshments.
