Sports Science... Posterization

I love sports, and I love math. I especially enjoy the NBA. So, I didn't need much motivation to show this fun and enlightening video to my students the other day.

If you appreciate any of these topics, I think you'll enjoy this video too.

If you don't enjoy my selected topics... then what's wrong with you?! ;)

Number One

Ahh yess... the Olympics are here.

I have so many memories as a kid of watching the Olympic games. From Michael Johnson breaking world records on the track, to the amazing flips and tumbles of the gymnasts, to the recent and dramatic performance of Michael Phelps.

The Games bring such passion, excitement, drama, and nationalism to us, and I am excited the time is upon us again to enjoy them.

ESPN has been discussing the top summer Olympians of all time, including the top ten here.

What do you think? Who's number one?
