Compare with Definitions
Mathematics
Mathematics (from Greek: μάθημα, máthēma, 'knowledge, study, learning') includes the study of such topics as quantity (number theory), structure (algebra), space (geometry), and change (analysis). It has no generally accepted definition.Mathematicians seek and use patterns to formulate new conjectures; they resolve the truth or falsity of such by mathematical proof.
Statistics
Statistics is the discipline that concerns the collection, organization, analysis, interpretation, and presentation of data. In applying statistics to a scientific, industrial, or social problem, it is conventional to begin with a statistical population or a statistical model to be studied.
Mathematics
The study of the measurement, properties, and relationships of quantities and sets, using numbers and symbols.
Statistics
The practice or science of collecting and analysing numerical data in large quantities, especially for the purpose of inferring proportions in a whole from those in a representative sample.
Mathematics
An abstract representational system studying numbers, shapes, structures, quantitative change and relationships between them.

Statistics
(used with a sing. verb) The mathematics of the collection, organization, and interpretation of numerical data, especially the analysis of population characteristics by inference from sampling.
Mathematics
A person's ability to count, calculate, and use different systems of mathematics at differing levels.
My mathematics is always improving.
Statistics
(used with a pl. verb) Numerical data.
Mathematics
That science, or class of sciences, which treats of the exact relations existing between quantities or magnitudes, and of the methods by which, in accordance with these relations, quantities sought are deducible from other quantities known or supposed; the science of spatial and quantitative relations.
Statistics
A discipline, principally within applied mathematics, concerned with the systematic study of the collection, presentation, analysis, and interpretation of data.
Statistics is the only mathematical field required for many social sciences.
Mathematics
A science (or group of related sciences) dealing with the logic of quantity and shape and arrangement
Statistics
The science which has to do with the collection, classification, and analysis of facts of a numerical nature regarding any topic.
Statistics
Classified facts of a numerical nature regarding any topic.
Statistics
The branch of mathematics which studies methods for the calculation of probabilities.
Statistics
A branch of applied mathematics concerned with the collection and interpretation of quantitative data and the use of probability theory to estimate population parameters
