would you rather be a wizard of numbers and data-addict and be able to predict the future

or

would you rather study the purest form of numbers, pure mathematics, so you can prove your intelligence

statistics is a meme

machine learning is a meme

data science is a meme

>>8493683
why is it a meme

at least it's useful on earth and you can die knowing you've contributed something unlike the purest mathematics, where you won't use most of what you learn after school

>>8493680
if you're a statistician you can probably find patterns within the system and world we live in and exploit them,

Studying pure math, I feel like I can't do much other than sit back and watch the pattern, I can't apply this, it's too pure for this world

for the vast majority of work you will only need the material learned in a basic course similar to what mechanical civil engineers take
i have never seen a ral world problem in prob/stats that an ME could not solve
MINITAB and maybe MATLAB will be all you need

Well I've never met an engineer who wasn't a total brainlet

>>8493721
Well, I'm an engineer and I bet your cum tastes horrible.

>>8493680
why not both desu? If you're majoring in math, pick up a stats textbook.

Even elementary topics like probability and chi-squared tests would be useful to know, and it's not like stats is hard to learn.

Actual Stats Masters student here. I do math 4-6 hours a day. Code for another 2 on average.

U may be mentally retarded. The amount of people who misuse this shit is unreal. If you don't thoroughly understand the underlying mathematical assumptions your models are useless and only result in psychological bias by the user in the form of over estimation of confidence.

I'm pretty sure all math and related math majors are pretty usefu anyway

Since a Pure Math Major can become both a Stat and AppMath but (apparenly) it cannot be vice versa
If /sci/ was truly smart, he would minor in CS or Finance in order to get a nice job and don't die from hunger since the other related math majors can get a job easy as fuck

But anyway, don't start a fight again

Oh and who's more pure?

Pure mathematics career from Bachelor's of Science to PhD or you're waifu?
Real question here

>Everything is a mee-mee because of nihilism, amiriteguys?! :^D :P XD
No, you fucking cunt, it all serves a purpose; just because you're too dense to understand the purpose doesn't mean it doesn't serve a function. :3

Are you alright m8? That post clearly wasn't serious.
