Wurster Hall: A Enjoyable New #Data and #Analytics Series from Write for California

Hello and welcome to the primary of hopefully many in our new Data and Analytics Series, Wurster Hall. Like Evans Hall, however slightly extra artwork and design targeted, which as you’ll quickly see is the first focus of this collection.

With our transfer to the ACC, I’ve been operating a collection over on Twitter introducing new followers to numerous enjoyable info about varied universities we play!

I made a decision to step that up by trying on the analytical aspect of issues, utilizing math, numbers, and statistics, to discover and study extra about out opponents!

DISCLOSURE

Listen, Math all the time made sense to me as a child all the best way up till Calculus. Then I took Math-53 Multivariate Calculus for 3-days and determined you realize what, Calculus is completely nice being in simply two variables. Just after a yr of switching majors from Math, I took Physics 8A and Stats 131A my junior yr to fulfill some breadth necessities, barely passing each (C’s get levels!).

With that, lets find out about UCLA by #information and #math! Welcome to Wurster Hall!

Our first information level, the relative distance of every campus to their stadium! Because who doesn’t have an on campus stadium? Did you realize UCLA doesn’t personal their very own stadium? And they’re actively attempting to make that commute worse! What a college.

Our second information evaluation regarded into the variety of restrooms in and across the stadium. UCLA and the Rose Bowl have a paltry 42 in comparison with the lofty 108 round Memorial Stadium. Admittedly, CMS is dwelling to roughly 87 porta-potties on the East Side which come and go, however we depend them as a result of they’re a sacred website in Calgorithm historical past.

This subsequent information level is bound to be one we consult with it quite a bit, the space to the closest bear from every college. Cal wins this contest by being near the Oakland Zoo at round 11 miles whereas the closest bear to UCLA is on the OC Zoo over 54 miles away.

Next, an necessary dataset that Cal and UCLA followers alike each take note of. Visualized right here is the US News and World Report Rankings relationship again to 1989, courtesy of Andrew G. Reiter. There’s no want to concentrate to the numbers because the graph right here exhibits that Cal has nearly all the time been greater! Neat!

An necessary a part of soccer is the flexibility to advance the ball, previous one thing usually known as the primary down line. Some groups decide to do that on the bottom by operating the ball, or “the rock” as some followers will name it. Then, in 1906, somebody invented the ahead go. Some colleges like Iowa are nonetheless attempting to determine it out. Statistically nonetheless, UCLA and Cal each prefer to throw that good good rock round. Our information above, measured in inches, exhibits simply how far each groups by the ball round final yr.

Next, we take a step again right here and take a look at the whole University of California system and the way they rank alphabetically. We begin on the prime in fact with #1 UC Berkeley, and attention-grabbing UCLA can’t appear to crack anyplace greater than #4, adopted intently by UC Merced. Honestly this alone warrants flagships standing for UC Berkeley.

Going by faculty, each single trainer instructed me “You can’t cite wikipedia! That’s not a reliable source!” Well I confirmed them, utilizing wikipedia for nearly each single information evaluation right here! So how higher to match the 2 universities than to see which one has extra references? UC Berkeley wins once more simply over 300!

Another necessary information level to think about when evaluating a program’s well being is what number of convention champions have been gained since say, the early 2000s. In this regard, the information is fairly conclusive on who’s the higher crew.

Another necessary information level is to think about how lengthy every identify of the town the college is positioned in is. Which whenever you break it down by letters, there are 8 in Berkeley. B is 1, E is 2, R is 3, Ok is 4, E is 5, L is 6, E is 7, and Y is 8. On the opposite hand, Los Angeles has 1. L is 1, O is 2, S is 3, A is 4, N is 5, G is 6, E is 7, L is 8, E is 9, 10 is S. So sadly, Los Angeles is barely longer at 10 whereas Berkeley is shorter at 8. And 10 is larger than 8. However, Berkeley is environment friendly, utilizing solely 6 distinctive letters whereas Los Angeles makes use of 9 distinctive letters. Who is to say which is healthier (It’s Berkeley.)

And with that, we’ve discovered every little thing we have to learn about UCLA! That’s all of the statistics! The mind belief right here at me appreciates you taking the time to learn this. We hope to make this a recurring collection as we search to study an increasing number of in regards to the fascinating world of knowledge, analytics, information science, and our favourite universities.
