Bachelor of Arts in Mathematics - Statistics

Statistics is the science and art of making inferences from data, under conditions of uncertainty. The practice of statistics requires not only the understanding of the statistical techniques, but also understanding of the problem requiring statistical analysis, whether it is in the liberal arts, the sciences, health sciences, or business. The statistics sequence has an interdisciplinary component so that this program will help develop skills in the application of statistics to a variety of disciplines. Why Study Mathematics - Statistics? Mathematics is one of the oldest and the most basic sciences divided in to two categories. Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Mathematics. Theoretical Math is involved with advancing science by developing new principles and new relationships between existing principles of math. Applied Math uses the theories and formulates and solves practical problems in business, government, and engineering and the physical, life, and social sciences.
