What is Discrete?

Somewhat broad category of mathematical subjects that concern discrete, rather than continuous objects. A good example of this distinction is the kind of functions you study in discrete math. Where as calculus differentiates and integrates functions defined for every value in some interval of real numbers, the kind of function examined in discrete math is often called a 'mapping', a rule that associates each members in one set with one in another. Often, these sets are finite, and so the elements are discrete, rather than continuous.

The topics addressed in a discrete math class vary, but it seems every curriculum has mathematical logic, set theory, formal proof techniques, number theory and probability. Other topics you might run into are abstract algebra (e.g., group theory), graph theory, linear programming, game theory and algorithmic complexity.

In addition to teaching students very important methods of proof and logic, discrete mathematics also gives a fun rundown of topics with a lot of practical applications.

(In the US, the median income of the few people who have the attention span and maturity to learn about things like discrete math is $81,240. True fact.)

The previous contributor knocked discrete math on the Internet, not realizing that his message was routed to this server with an algorithm based on graph theory, which is a part of discrete math. Jesus fucken' Christ-on-a-cracker, is he ever dumb.

Discrete - what is it?

That immense amount of power conferred upon one without commensurate knowledge, experience, or understanding, such that, in effect, the village idiot ends up holding the keys to the U.S. nuclear arsenal, or worse, won't let you into your own office building so you can finish working on that one document that will define the rest of your career and is due tomorrow morning.

I apologize for not filing that brief brief with the supreme court on time, but I was the victim of doorman discretion.

What does "Discrete" mean?

A creeper which is more skilled than the average creeper and does not get caught on the creep.

"Amy, I swear, I was being a discrete creeper when I took a picture of that hot guy in the subway."

Discrete - what does it mean?

1) A game played by mathematicians where the goal is to describe simple occurrences in the most complicated, confusing way possible.

2) Math that is done with discretion.

1) For all X1 and all X2, such that X1 and X2 are elements of the set of all real numbers, X1=X2 implies that F(X1)=F(X2). In other words, if you put the same number into your function that you already put in you are unlikely to get a different result.

2) Jack did not believe the waitress when she told him that his martini came to $9.37 after tax so he did some discrete math under his coat to double check her.

Discrete - meaning

Discretion. A runescape clan of wannabe pkers that think they are hardcore and flame other clans because of their own failure.

Discretion is full of wannabe pkers join #discretion and see.

Discrete - definition

The atmospheric process by which clusters of thunderstorms diverge and become discrete supercells.

Whoa...we were totally about to get rocked by that storm's outflow but it discretized and we got to look at a sweet wall cloud instead!

Something Hungarians are not known for.

I told you, Hungarians are not known for their discreteness.

Discrete

indicates lying or being evasive about one's personal relations.

Romeo told the attendants this to indicate they were NOT the Juliet he was looking for, but he wouldn't mind a blow job while he was looking.

"We're very discrete" means we keep our personal relationship behind closed doors.

Usually, this is a very bad sign of things to come. Run while you still can.

Discrete

1. Clearly defined or drawn.

2. How idiots across America spell "discreet."

1. I took a class in discrete geometry. It was mostly about clearly-defined lines and points.

2. "i am luking 4 a hott discrete chik or 2 2 blo me while my wife at her moms funeral."
