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

The branch of mathematics which studies methods for the calculation of probabilities.
