I am very proud of my alma mater as this is the best Sabermetrics course syllabus that I have seen to date.  Perhaps because it is being offered as a relatively high level math course.  This would be a course for math majors at the junior year or possibly second semester sophomore year if they got AP credit.  It is definitely not a fun course for students looking for an easy way to fulfill their math/science requirement.  It also seems that the professor is quite familiar with the blogging research as well as academic research.

I added the syllabus to my favorites list, and downloaded several of the PDFs. I should be able to learn something. I haven’t done any linear algebra for nearly 30 years (not that I was that good at it then).

Obviously it’s a very different course than mine, but it’s helpful to see what other people are doing.  Nice set of links to quality studies that still could be useful for my stuff.
