OPTIONAL LECTURES (Theory and Sabermetrics/Baseball)

NOTE: Remember, these lectures are entirely optional. In the theory lectures we'll delve more deeply into the theory in one series, talking about concepts from analysis, exploring vector analysis in greater detail and concluding with proofs of the three Big Theorems (Green, Gauss and Stokes). Attending these lectures (or not!) will neither help nor hurt your grade in the class. The purpose of these lectures is to cover the same amount of material that is done at colleges and universities with 15 week semesters. In the baseball meetings, we'll discuss applications of mathematics to baseball, and use that as a springboard to discuss modeling and applications.
