Why Study Mathematics and Statistics?

Thanks to its abstract nature, math has become the language used in any science. It is used to describe anything that people try to understand in our universe and beyond.

Statistics provides the reasoning and methods for producing and understanding data. Statisticians are specialists, but statistics demands they be generalists, too.
