Statistics - Area of applied mathematics concerned with the data collection, analysis, interpretation and presentation.

Statistics is used in almost every field of research: the discovery of the Higgs particle, social sciences, climate research (yes, it is getting hotter!),... With this, and with its well established foundations, it is very well suited for a wikibook. This book is an ongoing effort to make this basic knowledge available for free.
