Optimization Unit
Statistics is a branch of mathematics dealing with the collection, analysis, interpretation, and presentation of masses of numerical data. 

Two main statistical methods are used in data analysis: 1) Descriptive Statistics - which summarize data from a sample using indexes, such as the mean or standard deviation, and 2) Inferential Statistics - which draw conclusions from data that are subject to random variation such as observational errors or sampling variation.

Sir Ronald Aylmer Fisher (1890 - 1962)
Sir Ronald Aylmer Fisher was a British statistician and geneticist.  For his work in statistics, he has been described as "a genius who almost single-handedly created the foundations for modern statistical science" and "the single most important figure in 20th century statistics".
