Statistics

Help me to understand statics. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hatchet412 (talk • contribs) 18:52, 3 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Try starting with our article on Statistics. (It does look as though that article, although not as detailed as Mathematical statistics, is a little too long for an introduction, and an Introduction to statistics might be a useful summary article.)

For this, and many other math topics, Simple English Wikipedia is often a good place to start. Their article on statistics [1] is a little easier to get started with. SemanticMantis (talk) 20:56, 3 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Understanding STATICS is easy. Nothing moves.

Statics is the branch of mechanics that is concerned with the analysis of loads (force and torque, or "moment") on physical systems in static equilibrium, that is, in a state where the relative positions of subsystems do not vary over time, or where components and structures are at a constant velocity. 175.45.116.65 (talk) 01:15, 4 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
