There would be no such thing as statistics if not for mathematics.

true.  but that doesnt mean statistics is a branch of math.

recently i was speaking with a statistician, who until his retirement, was working at mit.  dont ask me how i got to know this fellow.  such things are 'anonymous.'  anyway, he was the one who convinced me that statistics isnt 'math.'

keep in mind, he was clearly speaking about statistics and not probability.  i suppose those two things are different as well. 

ive always been more of a man of letters...
