Why is statistics considered distinct from mathematics rather

>applied mathematics

because it isnt applied mathematics. an experiment is done taking data, and then the data is analyzed. statistics involve a science and math is absolutely not science (applied or not)

>>8581093
Too subjective to be considered applied math.

Good point, also, it really isnt considered all that distinct from math, albeit a little.

Although in my course progression, probability was a requirement while stats was not. Last time i took stats was in high school.

>implying you can't specialize in theoretical stats with a degree in applied math

Mathematician is not librarian.

Only the Applied Statistics MS is Applied Math senpai.

The Statistics major is not a full Applied Statistics major since it also has Probability theory and related.
So the only thing that is actually "Applied Math" is either Applied Statistics or Mathematical FInance or Actuarial Science, all of these as MS of course.

However, now that thinking about it, Actuarial Science IS a branch of Applied Math as a whole since it doesn't have theorical courses most of the time, so i guess you were really close, OP.
