Introduction to Discrete Mathematics

Discrete mathematics involves distinct, countable values between points rather than continuous functions. It can be used to model real-world problems involving discrete objects. Some main topics in discrete mathematics include sets, logic, groups, counting, probability, induction, graphs, trees, and Boolean algebra. This introduction will discuss each of these concepts in subsequent chapters.

More Detail

Mathematics can be broadly classified into two categories −

Continuous Mathematics − It is based upon continuous number line or the real numbers. It is
characterized by the fact that between any two numbers, there are almost always an infinite set
of numbers. For example, a function in continuous mathematics can be plotted in a smooth
curve without breaks.
Discrete Mathematics − It involves distinct values; i.e. between any two points, there are a
countable number of points. For example, if we have a finite set of objects, the function can be
defined as a list of ordered pairs having these objects, and can be presented as a complete list
of those pairs.

Topics in Discrete Mathematics


Though there cannot be a definite number of branches of Discrete Mathematics, the following topics
are almost always covered in any study regarding this matter −

Sets, Relations and Functions


Mathematical Logic
Group theory
Counting Theory
