Olympics

The modern Olympic Games have changed dramatically since
  their inception in 1896. For example, many commentators
  have remarked on the change in the quality of athletic
  performances from year to year. Regression will allow us
  to investigate the change in winning times for one event:
  the 1,500 meter race.

        (mosaic-web.org) used to teach mathematics, statistics,
        computation and modeling.  Funded by the NSF, Project MOSAIC is
        a community of educators working to tie together aspects of
        quantitative work that students in science, technology,
        engineering and mathematics will need in their professional
        lives, but which are usually taught in isolation, if at all.
