do you consider statistics a field of mathematics?

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

College-level Statistics is a total BS subject. I had to endure a whole semester of it and only barely passed by the slimmest margin.

The way introductory statistics is taught at the college level, all you really need to do is memorize the definitions of things like standard deviation and know how to calculate a confidence interval.

I learned more about statistics from my econometrics classes than I did in any of my undergraduate stat classes.
