What is the importance of discrete math?
Discrete math is important in so many ways that it’s hard to know where to begin answering this. History: Many theorems from discrete mathematics underlie information technology – including your computer’s hardware and software. Compression schemes like .zip files, the encryption that keeps your credit card number safe despite sharing it with an online store, and the mathematics built into the CPU all depend on results from Discrete Math. If you want to understand how they work, you need to learn the math that it was created with. If you want to invent new compression, encryption or calculation software, you need to understand what has already been done – and how to extend it. Understanding: Formal systems of logic fall within Discrete Mathematics. Philosophers have been relying on the results of this work since before recorded history. More results are coming all the time, the fields of Robotics and Artificial Intelligence are at the forefront of information technology and depend comp
