Picking your NCAA Bracket with Linear Algebra  

Dr. Aaron Wangberg
Winona State University

Abstract: How do you pick your NCAA Bracket? Do you value home wins, early season games, and blowouts against Division II and III foes? Or is it better to base everything on the last five games of the season? Bring your computer to fill out your NCAA Bracket and hear the math that has helped WSU Linear Algebra students finish in the top 10% of ESPN's Bracket Challenge.
