Who's smarter? Mathematicians or Statisticians
As careers, are they more similar or more different than people say.
I like poking through data sets and dislike the rigor of proof, but I'm turned off by all the normie applications of statistics, so I'm unsure what I should do.
It'd be great if the two fields merged but that is obviously unlikely as far as I can tell.
Thoughts?

Just be a fucking normie and be and actuary.
aren't they the same thing?
you learn something every day huh

That's a cute Lain. Can I save it?

Take your pedophile cartoons back to fucking weeaboo degenerates. This board is for scientific discussion only.
Looks like they haven't learned yet.
Neither, just fucking do whichever one you enjoy more
>who's smarter?
Who fucking cares? Stop basing your career on what Veeky Forums respects and just do what you enjoy and are good at.

Both are cute
Mathematicians are smarter, but statisticians are far more employable.

Don't care; I'm not smart enough to be either. I'm just a wee ole engineer like everyone else, and wouldn't have it any other way.
Yeah right

Doesn't mean it isn't humorous d00d
It made me laugh

Mathematicians know more.
Statisticians made better choices with their life.
Data scientist = stats + cs = best job
At the research level statistics is just analysis. I don't think people understand that statistics really is a part of mathematics. Actuarial math and the more applied end of stats tends to be garbage in the eyes of pure math people.
If you think statistics doesn't involve rigorous proofs you're in for a big surprise.
