Re: Statistics!!!!!!!!!

Basically statistics without distributions.  Much of statistics is based upon distributions, which is an assumption about how the data is layed out.  This gives a lot more powerful tools.  However, if the initial assumption is wrong, then so will be the results.


"In the real world, this would be a problem.  But in mathematics, we can just define a place where this problem doesn't exist.  So we'll go ahead and do that now..."
