Mathematics: You can use the language of numbers to understand real-world phenomena
Statistics: You can analyse information to help take an action in the real-world.
Some examples are...
Let us fetch the CO2 data and see it using the program by Marshall Hampton.
Let's grab the data live, shall we?

Now we are ready to play with some more real data downloaded from the GeoNet Quake Search catalog site http://magma.geonet.org.nz/resources/quakesearch/.
Let's grab some fresh stocks shall we?

The science that deals with Non-Newtonian fluids (or funny fluids :) ) is called Rheology and studies the deformation and flow of matter. But what type of behaviour can we expect from this materials (or funny fluids)? Well, if the behaviour is neither elastic (if you double the tension you double the extension) nor the one of a Newtonian liquid (if you double the force you double the velocity gradient), then Rheology is your tool.
Some examples of these materials can be found in: Synthetic-fibre and plastics-processing industries, liquid detergents (your shampoo or toothpaste), multigrade oils, paints, cosmetics, foods (chocolate and ice cream for example) and biological fluids just to name a few.
The above fluid is called ferro-magneto fluid...you can do all these weird shapes by controlling the magnetic field around the fluid.
