Dear Ajit,

for me Statistics is intersection of Mathematics and Econometrics; it is not a branch of Mathematics in the usual sense.

I'm not sure whether my answer should be No or Yes, but I'm biased to say "No" (if u ask one word reply).

It's a separate discipline which uses the mathematics most.

In Mathematics most of the time your are dealing with fix/point effects not directly with uncertainty.

And, when it comes to uncertainty or Randomness Statistics come into existence. Although both subjects are complementary to each other, their interdependence don't allows us to compare.

many thanks dr Gianluca and Abhay for interesting answers
