    This document discusses using linear algebra and linear equations to determine the greatest of all time (GOAT) player based on performance data across multiple features. It presents sample performance data for several players across four features and an overall rating. It notes that linear equations can be used to determine the weights of each feature that best predict the overall rating, and that challenges include solving the linear equations, determining the appropriate number of players and features, and checking for inconsistencies in the data.
