Probability can be viewed as the study of processes whose outcome cannot be predicted with certainty, and all that can be done is calculating the like hood of the different possible outcomes. Statistics is the use of numerical data from a small sample of a population to make inferences about the whole population.

In its more basic sense, trigonometry is the study of the relationships between the sides and the angles of [[triangle]]s. However, trigonometric functions are widely used outside their original realm of describing triangles. For example, senoidal functions are used to describe oscillatory motion and waves.
