1. Good employment, because there are data in various fields, and banks, finance and industry all need statistical talents.
2. A very interesting theme
Going abroad is a little more difficult than math, but it's still a good major. After all, few people can learn.
Statistics majors are consistent with the basic courses of mathematics: mathematical analysis 123, linear algebra 12, analytic geometry, real variable, complex variable, ordinary differential, functional, probability and mathematical statistics. ...
Our school didn't have specialized courses until junior year: stochastic process, regression analysis and multivariate statistical analysis.
The specialized course of statistics is very interesting, and there are practical data to help you understand it, which is much more specific than mathematics, but it can't be said to be easy, only that it is not abstract.
To learn the basic course of mathematics well, statistics belongs to mathematics after all.
Mainly about data analysis, testing and establishing statistical models. Of course, this is only the participation of undergraduates, and there are many small directions in the future: biostatistics, quality control, data mining, and machine learning. ...
In a word, wide, good and strong.
