1. Finance has relatively low requirements for mathematics. Although some basic mathematical concepts and methods are used in finance, such as algebra, calculus and probability theory, most of them are qualitative and empirical analysis.
2. Finance mainly focuses on the theory and practice of economy and capital market, and needs to understand and use some mathematical tools to explain and analyze the behavior and changes of financial market.
3. Mathematics requires higher statistics. Statistics is a subject based on collecting, sorting, analyzing and interpreting data, which requires deep knowledge of probability theory and mathematical statistics.
4. Statistics involves probability distribution, hypothesis testing, regression analysis and sampling theory. , and need some mathematical deduction and operation ability. Therefore, compared with statistics, finance has higher requirements for mathematics. Statistics is an undergraduate major in Chinese universities. This major trains students to have systematic statistical theoretical knowledge and application skills, master the main statistical methods and related computer technologies, and have the ability to deal with data problems in specific industries.
