difference between mechanical and statistics maths in own words
Answers
Step-by-step explanation:
is an excellent question, one often ignored and seldom understood, even less so adequately answered!
At its core, the difference between mathematics and statistics lies in the application and purpose of each discipline.
When we talk about mathematics, we are actually referring to the various ways we can define, manipulate, think about and prove statements concerning some abstract objects and their qualities (or quantity). Whether we are working on some form of geometry, trying to understand analysis, studying some algebraic structure or looking at infinite sets, we are trying to answer questions (solve problems) and prove or generalize results regarding the various characteristics of said structure or object and how it relates to other structures/objects of a similar or distinct fashion.
We only care about what the implications of the underlying axioms are, how changing one axiom or adding another could result in something else entirely. In this regard, we are interested in the theory itself, in what the statements mean, in what the consequences of the axioms are: whether they’re applicable, understandable to others or have representations in the real world - we don’t care. It’s this particular research we are concerned with, it is of interest in its own right.
