Oxford Mathematics Public Lecture: Can maths tell us how to win at Fantasy Football? - Joshua Bull

Update: 2020-11-02

Description

Oxford Mathematician Josh Bull won the 2019-2020 Premier League Fantasy Football competition from nearly 8 million entrants. So how did he do it? Did he by any chance use mathematics? In this lecture Josh shows just how useful maths can be, not just in dealing with serious issues, but in dealing with the things that we do and enjoy in our everyday lives.
