Statistic Degree

Hello all, I am majoring in Statistics and Applied Mathematics and will be getting a Masters in Statistics. I'm trying to brain storm jobs and am leaning towards a sports type thing. But what would a statistical degree get me in the world of gaming? I'm sure gaming industries need statistics ran!

  • There was an episode of the Bungie Podcast which features a math savant, who discussed the importance of math on his work with Bungie Pro, and in the matchmaking engine they built for Reach. Statistics played a huge part in how the system determined who should host a matchmaking game, as well as inside the predictive algorithms used during matchmaking sessions to reduce lag debt... Statistics could potentially touch a large portion of a game in some fashion or another :)
