SPORT RATING SYSTEMS
- analyze the results of sports competitions to
provide objective ratings for each team.
- in some sports, the results tell us more than
winner / loser

APPROACH
- read and understand the relevant mathematical
literature
- suggest improvements to existing systems
- write a report describing the investigated
systems, listing their advantages and disadvantages.
- use graphical libraries such as D3.js in order to
come up with instructive interactive graphs to illustrate how the rating has been computed.
