Discrete Mathematics

The branch of mathematics dealing with objects which can assume only certain ``discrete'' values. Discrete objects can becharacterized by Integers, whereas continuous objects require Real Numbers. Thestudy of how discrete objects combine with one another and the probabilities of various outcomes is known asCombinatorics.
