Mathematics & statistics

Mathematics & Statistics are often used interchangeably but are two very different subjects.

Mathematics is the art of numbers, quantity, and space. The study of Mathematics on its own it is called pure mathematics. Likewise it can also be applied to other areas such as physics and engineering. In this case, it is called applied mathematics.

Statistics is often confused with Mathematics. Statistics is the art of collecting and analyzing numerical data in large quantities, for the purpose of deducting shares as a whole from those in a representative sample.
