The history of statistics began in 1749, though the meaning of statistics has changed over time. Originally referring only to state information, it now encompasses the collection and analysis of all types of data. Key developments include the establishment of probability theory in the 17th century and its increasing use in astronomy and other sciences in the 18th-19th centuries. Figures like Laplace systematized early probability and statistics. By the 19th century, statistics involved collecting demographic and economic data and analyzing summaries. Today it is used widely across fields using data and making predictions.

What is the Major Power Linking Statistics & Data Mining? November 2013 Soaad Abd El-Badie
In the recent years, numerous scientific research studies which stand for the intersecting disciplines between statistics and data mining (DM) are obtained [17, 18, 19, 24, 27, 30, 35]. This paper is devoted to answer the titled suggested question which is based on five reply trends, the 1st trend based on an updated historical vision for each of statistics and DM. The 2nd trend is concerned with modern theoretical significant reply between statistics and DM. The major power linking statistics and DM is established in the 3rd trend. Lastly, the 4th trend represents a significant comparison between statistics & DM. A conceptual classification about Statistical Data Mining (SDM) process in Egypt will be represented in the 5th reply trend. Finally, the conclusion and the future work are represented.

Science and contribution of mathematics in its developmentFernando Alcoforado
Mathematics is the science of logical reasoning that has its development linked to research, interest in discovering the new and investigate highly complex situations. The escalation of Mathematics began in ancient times when it was aroused the interest by the calculations and numbers according to the need of man to relate the natural events to their daily lives. Today, Mathematics is the most important science of the modern world because it is present in all scientific areas.
The role mathematics has played in changing the world has been very much underplayed. This slide was made with intention to show the inventions of some of the greatest mathematicians who have graced the surface of this Earth
The problem of effective computation is discussed. Short historical analysis of this problem and basic ways of its development in culture and science, including computer science, are represented. Place the problem of the creation effective calculation in modern science is discussed. Necessity of creation “computation metascience” as system with variable hierarchy (open system) is observed. Polymetric analysis as example of this metascience is represented and discussed.

History of statistics
1. History of statistics
The history of statistics can be said to start around 1749 although, over time, there have been
changes to the interpretation of the word statistics. In early times, the meaning was restricted to
information about states. This was later extended to include all collections of information of all types,
and later still it was extended to include the analysis and interpretation of such data. In modern terms,
"statistics" means both sets of collected information, as in national accounts and temperature records,
and analytical work which requires statistical inference.
Statistical activities are often associated with models expressed using probabilities, and
require probability theory for them to be put on a firmtheoretical basis: see History of probability.
A number of statistical concepts have had an important impact on a wide range of sciences. These
include the design of experiments and approaches to statistical inference such as Bayesian inference,
each of which can be considered to have their own sequence in the development of the ideas
underlying modern statistics.
By the 18th century, the term "statistics" designated the systematic
collection of demographic and economic data by states. In the early 19th century, the meaning of
"statistics" broadened to include the discipline concerned with the collection, summary, and analysis of
data. Today statistics is widely employed in government, business, and all the sciences.
Electronic computers have expedited statistical computation, and have allowed statisticians to develop
"computer-intensive" methods.
The term "mathematical statistics" designates the mathematical theories of probability and statistical
inference, which are used in statistical practice. The relation between statistics and probability theory
developed rather late, however. In the 19th century, statistics increasingly used probability theory,
whose initial results were found in the 17th and 18th centuries, particularly in the analysis of games of
chance (gambling). By 1800, astronomy used probability models and statistical theories, particularly
the method of least squares, which was invented by Legendre and Gauss. Early probability theory and
statistics was systematized and extended by Laplace; following Laplace, probability and statistics have
been in continual development. In the 19th century, statistical reasoning and probability models were
used by social scientists to advance the new sciences of experimental psychologyand sociology, and
by physical scientists in thermodynamics and statistical mechanics. The development of statistical
reasoning was closely associated with the development of inductive logic and the scientific method.
Statistics can be regarded as not a field of mathematics but an autonomous mathematical science,
like computer science and operations research. Unlike mathematics, statistics had its origins in public
administration. It is used in demography and economics. With its emphasis on learning from data and
making best predictions, statistics has a considerable overlap with decision
science and microeconomics. With its concerns with data, statistics has overlap with information
science and computer science.
Etymology
Look up statistics in wiktionary, the free dictionary.
The term statistics is ultimately derived from the New Latin statisticum collegium ("council of state")
and the Italian word statista ("statesman" or "politician"). The German Statistik, first introduced
by Gottfried Achenwall (1749), originally designated the analysis of data about the state, signifying the
"science of state" (then called political arithmetic in English). It acquired the meaning of the collection
2. and classification of data generally in the early 19th century. It was introduced into English in 1791
by Sir John Sinclair when he published the first of 21 volumes titled Statistical Account of Scotland.[1]
Thus, the original principal purpose of Statistik was data to be used by governmental and (often
centralized) administrative bodies. The collection of data about states and localities continues, largely
through national and international statistical services. In particular, censuses provide frequently
updated information about the population.
The first book to have 'statistics' in its title was "Contributions to Vital Statistics" by Francis GP Neison,
actuary to the Medical Invalid and General Life Office (1st ed., 1845; 2nd ed., 1846; 3rd ed., 1857).
