OT: March Mathness brackets

[Marat]

Davidson Professor offers classes on how to mathematically pick the brackets - interesting. I wish I could have taken something like this back in school.

I don't know if "offering classes on how to mathematically pick the brackets" is a fair way to describe it. It says he's having 2 of his classes evaluate the teams and pick brackets. So, it's probably 1 week or so of a statistics course.

Ah, is that one of those sites like "Khan Academy"? It's nice that he makes it available for free.

Last year I took an online Bracketology course from St. Joe's with Lunardi. It was actually pretty cool. Last class we all had a conference call for 5 hrs and did mock selection committee and process. Really neat experience
