- Statistics is concerned with making sense or inferences about the world based on limited information and uncertainties. In contrast, mathematics is exact. The goal is to prove theorems based on a well-defined set of assumptions. It is the juxtaposition of statistics and mathematics that I find intriguing and challenging. Mathematical statistics serves to precisely quantify and explain what can be learned through "experimentation," in spite of having to acknowledge our uncertainty in the process.
