Introduction


Basketball and maths are related, for example when you want to calculate the area of the court,
and that can be dertermined by a simple mathematical formula of A = LW, (where A = area L=length and W=width). In basketball there is the lot of maths included , we will be loooking at parabola and many more.

History
The basketball was established In 1891,by Dr. James Naismith.when he looking for an indoor game to keep his students busy during the long New England winters. Dr. James Naismith thought back to his boyhood in Canada, where he and his friends had played "duck on a rock," which involved trying to knock a large rock off a boulder by throwing smaller rocks at it. He also recalled watching rugby players toss a ball into a box in a gymnasium. after that, he rejected other ideas as being too rough or too poorly suited for gymnasiums, he wrote the basic rules, and nailed a peach basket onto the gym wall. The first official game was played in the YMCA gymnasium on January 20, 1892. "Basket ball," the name suggested by one of his students, was popular from the beginning, and with Dr. Naismith's students being dispatched to YMCAs throughout the United States, the game was the played all over the country.

The example

A basketball player shoots a basketball from his hand at an initial height of 1 m with an initial upward

velocityof 10 meters per second. This equation can be solved by the following method h=rt2+vt+i,


Court

The basketball court has mathematics behind it the NBA cout could be calculated by the following

formula A=LW, this help to find the area of the region.


Ball

The ball also has mathematics behind it.

the basketball ball is sphere. Now to find the volume the sphere we can use the sphere volume

formula.
