Description
By definition, Statistics is a branch of mathematics that deals with the collection, organization, analysis, interpretation and presentation of data. The main aim of Statistics is to compare and analyze data, draw conclusions and apply the information in ways that help solve current problems. Statistics show certain trends and changes in many aspects of life – from how much a business spends and earns, for example, to a country’s birth and death rates. Statistics is a very important field of study, because it uses data to gain information about the world around us. Statistics degree programs teach a variety of subjects, typically including Statistical Theory, Probability, Algorithms for Data Analysis, Advanced Mathematical Methods, Statistical Modeling, Data Mining and Knowledge Discovery, Numerical Analysis, Statistical Inference, Exploratory Data Analysis and others. A degree course in Statistics provides students with in-depth theoretical knowledge and transferable professional skills like critical and analytical thinking, problem-solving, strategy development and excellent communication skills. Statistics graduates can pursue careers in a number of sectors: finance, e-commerce, pharmaceuticals, biomedicine, technology, data science, research analysis, biostatistics, econometrics and others.
