NOTES
Discover how math applies to the game of soccer, from the length of the field to the calculation of players' stats. The high-appeal Math in Sports series shows young fans that math and sports go together like a ball and a glove. High-impact photos and clear text show how math is everywhere in sports: hockey goalies use geometry, angles are key in basketball, and a football pass can't be completed if the quarterback doesn't calculate the proper distance for his throw. Readers learn how to use math skills to find averages, percentages, and other key statistics for their favorite sports
