The authors devise games, including a baseball simulation game in the style of Strat-O-Matic \u0026amp; APBA Baseball - complete in this book. The book's foreword, by William Keat, PhD, professor at Union College on Carlton Chin: \"The predictive power of mathematics ... along with his joy of competition, underpins his unique professional journey from predicting material behavior as an engineering student at MIT, predicting human behavior as ... nationally known financial analyst, to predicting athletic performance as author and contributor to the New York Times.\" \"An athlete is his own right, numbers and statistics are Carlton's means to a greater understanding of the sports he loves. In my own experience as a teacher of engineering, I know that the converse is also true, that sports can be used to inspire a greater understanding of science and mathematics.\" Cover illustration: Julia Chin's rendition of Elysian Fields in Hoboken, NJ, the birthplace of organized baseball in the 1840s.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Julia Rose Chin, Carlton Chin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1609700120\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781609700126\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bcdadvisors\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/01\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 138\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.32d","brand":"Julia Rose Chin","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44567324262655,"sku":"9781609700126","price":12.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_46d1d609-d9a3-4f3e-9187-462ba0e433a0.jpg?v=1701377168","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/baseball-numbers-fun-julia-rose-chin-9781609700126","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
