Physics is math
Physics describe real world
Checkmate

Engineering is by far the biggest real world application of math. Aerospace, Mechanical, Electrical, all of them uses a lot of math to get shit done.

Shut up nerd

Statistics would not exist without probability theory.
Some areas of physics, finance, machine learning, and computer ""science""" would also fail to exist without probability theory.
Therefore, probability theory has more real world applications than statistics.
Now delete this thread.

I'd say the things that go into our understanding of fundamental physics like tensor calculus and abstract algebra are used more every second.

jokes on you, i can interface with 4chan directly from my brain

>>10114983
Signals and Controls are

Hey, /med/ here. Why is statistics so hard for me? I want to understand it and am interested in it, but the textbooks for medical statistics are so vague and confusing. They sorta just have some terms slapped on there. Should I try studying from a different source or I'm a retard and it's hopeless?

>>10114815
All mathematical disciplines make use of and include each other, much like Chemistry, Biology, Physics etc are all the same science, just different areas of science. Like you can say Chemistry is important and Psychology is useless, but Psychologists are just sacks of chemicals trying to predict and manage the behavior of other sacks of chemicals. Apply Chemistry enough and you have Psychology, apply Arithmetic enough and you have Algebra, Calculus, Statistics, etc. All of them are important.

>>10114815
Statistics seems really useless though.

>>10116675
No. Statistics has lots of cool application.
Estimation, detection, classification, machine learning, signal processing...
The list just goes on and on.
Nowadays statistics has gained a lot of notoriety in many domains.

Statistics is the language of science, kind of like how mathematics is the alphabet of scientific communication.

One should interpret the fields in those terms to see that they are not directly comparable as proposed in the OP

>>10114815
Arithmetics, honestly. Do I even need arguments?

>>10114815
What about differential equations, fuckface?

>>10116675
Statistically speaking....well, yeah.

I would say geometry > linear algebra and stats > calculus

>>10114815
Seriously tho... what is Ligma?

>>10115059
Ok Neo
Dodge this

Pic related, but I'll bite anyway. Algebra or arithmetic since they are more foundational and others maths are built on them, they have more applications simply by being a larger intersection of higher maths, wherever the others maths are used, so too is algebra.
