(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
Etymologically derived from study, a student is one who studies. Also known as a disciple in the sense of a religious area of study, and/or in the sense of a "discipline" of learning. In widest use, student is used to mean a school or class attendee.
Currently, many children and young adults are subject to compulsory education: by law they are required to attend some form of school. Laws vary from country to country, but most students are allowed to abandon their education when they reach the legal age of consent (18 in the US).
November 17 is the International Students' Day, which commemorates those students killed at the beginning of World War II who called for peace.
Years
A freshman is a first-year student in college or university, or, chiefly in the United States, in high school.
A sophomore is a second-year student. Etymologically, the word means 'wise fool'; consequently sophomoric means "pretentious, bombastic, inflated in style or manner; immature, crude, superficial" (according to the Oxford English Dictionary).
A junior is a student in the third year and above of high school or college.
A senior is a student in the fourth and last year at a school, college, or university.
Freshman and sophomore are sometimes used figuratively, to refer for example to a first or second effort ("the singer's freshman album"), or to a politician's first or second term in office ("sophomore senator") or an athlete's first or second year on a professional sports team. Junior and senior aren't used in this figurative way to refer to third and fourth years or efforts, because of those words' broader meanings of 'older' and 'younger'. (A junior senator is therefore not one who is in his or her third term of office, but rather merely one who has not been in the Senate as long as the other senator from his or her state.)

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
Student was the pseudonym of William Sealey Gosset (1876-1937), who, in 1908, published a pseudonymous paper showing that a certain probability distribution, now conventionally called Student's distribution or the t-distribution, arises in the problem of estimating the mean of a normally distributed population when the sample size is small. (Perhaps a "pure" mathematician would say "... when the sample size is small and the standard deviation is unknown and has to be estimated from the data." In practice the standard deviation of the population is always unknown and must be estimated from the data. Textbook problems treating the standard deviation as if it were known are of two kinds: (1) those in which the sample size is so large that one may treat a data-based estimate as if it were certain, and (2) those that illustrate mathematical reasoning; the problem of estimating the standard deviation is temporarily ignored because that is not the point that the author or instructor is then explaining.)Suppose X1, ..., Xn are independent random variables that are normally distributed with expected value μ and variance σ2. Let
be the "sample mean", and
be the "sample variance". It is readily shown that
is normally distributed with mean 0 and variance 1. Student found the probability distribution of
that distribution is "the t-distribution with n-1 degrees of freedom."
Clearly this distribution does not depend on the values of μ or σ. Its expected value is 0 and its variance is (n-1)/(n-3).
The interval whose endpoints are
where A is an appropriate percentage-point of the t-distribution, is a confidence interval for μ. The formula for the probability density function of the t-distribution with n-1 degrees of freedom is known and these confidence intervals can therefore be readily computed once the sample mean and sample variance have been determined.
The overall shape of the probability density function of the t-distribution resembles the bell shape of a normally distributed variable with mean 0 and variance 1, except that it is a bit lower and wider. As the number of degrees of freedom grows, the t-distribution approaches the normal distribution with mean 0 and variance 1.

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
William Sealy Gosset 1876-1937 is best known for a single contribution Student's t-distribution but he had a thirty year career as a statistician publishing under the pseudonym "Student." Gosset was born in Canterbury, England and attended Winchester College, the famous private school. At Oxford he studied chemistry and mathematics. He went to work for Arthur Guinness & Son, the Dublin brewers. His final position with the firm was as Head Brewer, in charge of the scientific side of production, at the new brewery in London.Guinness was a progressive agro-chemical business and Gosset would apply his statistical knowledge both in the brewery and on the farm--to the selection of the best yielding varieties of barley. Gosset acquired that knowledge by study, trial and error and by spending two terms in 1906/7 in the biometric laboratory of Karl Pearson. Gosset and Pearson had a good relationship and Pearson helped Gosset with the mathematics of his papers. Pearson helped with the 1908 papers but he had little appreciation of their importance. The papers addressed the brewer's concern with small samples but the biometrician typically had hundreds of observations and saw no urgency in developing small-sample methods.
Pearson published The probable error of a mean and almost all of Gosset's papers in his journal Biometrika but it was Ronald Fisher who appreciated the importance of Gosset's small-sample work. Fisher believed that Gosset had effected a “logical revolution”. Ironically the t-statistic for which Gosset is famous was actually Fisher's creation. Gosset's statistic was z = t/sqrt (n - 1). Fisher introduced the t-form because it fitted it in with his theory of degrees of freedom. Fisher was also responsible for the applications of the t-distribution to regression.
Gosset was a friend of both Pearson and Fisher, which was an achievement for each had a massive ego and a loathing for the other. Gosset was a modest man who cut short an admirer with the comment that “Fisher would have discovered it all anyway.”
