In Basketball statistics analysis the mathematics play an important role.
There are a large number of mathematics formulas and methods that have been developed to help in the statistical analysis of a Basketball game.
They can show how good a player or a team is, give clues as to strengths and weaknesses, and explain why a team won or lost a given game.

However, they can often give misleading information if not looked at carefully.
Here we offer the Mathematics Formulas which can be learned from context, meanwhile the methods used by the eBA System, its enunciation and discussion, may be examined at the The eBA System Area.

Mathematics and Sports

Some scientists claim that strong tobacco and spirits clear the head and spur creativity. It would be well, however, to try other means: to exercise, jog, swim, or learn to play games like tennis, Basketball, badminton, volleyball, and so on ... Not only checkers, chess, cards, or billiards are a source of interesting problems. Other sports provide them as well. Mathematical methods are increasingly applied in sports. Just think how many yet-unsolved problems arise when we study the interaction between ball and racket or between ball and court.
