Statistics and Programming

Statistics specializes in developing the most effective methods for collecting data on scientific phenomena in general and human phenomena in particular, as well as organizing, analyzing, and interpreting them to understand these phenomena, deduce the relationships between them, and compare them with other phenomena. The information provided by statistics can enable us to assess the level of advancement of a nation, the well-being of its population, and the progress achieved in various fields, whether economic, social, health, cultural, or others. It reveals to planners and decision-makers the strengths and weaknesses in all these areas and the degree of success achieved through adopted policies. Statistics is the essential tool for predicting the future development of phenomena, making it indispensable for preparing plans and shaping public policies for development and improvement across all fields, especially in the era of globalization and the knowledge economy, which necessitates the use of programming and management information systems to harness computers in facilitating the use of statistical tools and various mathematical models, increasing the efficiency and effectiveness of their use in planning and managing the national economy, accelerating planning and decision-making processes, and enhancing their accuracy.
