Soccermatics: how maths explains football | David Sumpter | TEDxUppsalaUniversity

Behavioural mathematician and popular science writer, David Sumpter, applies his models of collective behaviour in fish, birds and ants to understanding soccer. Find out the mathematical structures behind the beautiful game.
As behavioural mathematician he applies his models of collective behaviour in shoaling fish and slime molds to other areas such as football.

A comment from my favourite player! Yay. Don't tell the others.

[@nikita_kozlov]

I wish he actually gave some math examples of findings.

One of the football magic is a score and combination of 0, 1, 2, 3... as a Poisson distribution

There are a few components to betting systems. One place I found which succeeds in merging these is the Jalin bet blueprint (check it out on google) without a doubt the no.1 system that I've seen.Check out all the super info .

Pretty self indulgent, not really any mathematics shown!!

[@schrodingerdiscovery]

People have been studying mathematics for years and haven't understood it. You expect him to explain it in 15 minutes ? Why not go and read his book if you want to understand ?

[@s.jagadesh4406]

@@schrodingerdiscovery which book??

[@sophocles1198]

@@schrodingerdiscovery Good point. Why have any mathematics in a talk on mathematics and soccer?
