Reviews
“Operational Research Applied to Sports is one of a series of books published by Palgrave which introduces OR as it is applied to a variety of fields. … the book contains thirteen papers that had been carefully selected to cover a range of different sports. … This book focussing entirely on OR applied to sports is a welcome addition to literature.” (Hans W. Ittmann, IFORS News, Vol. 10 (3), September, 2016)
