Wikepedia says: Statistic uses math but is not a branch. See below.
After having studied both, I feel it's misleading to say that statistics is a branch of math.
Rather, statistics is a separate discipline that uses math, but differs in fundamental ways from other branches of math, like combinatorics or differential equations or group theory.
