Discrete Mathematics
What is Discrete Mathematics?
Discrete mathematics is a branch of mathematics dealing with objects that can assume distinct, separate values.
Discrete mathematics has applications in many fields such as: set theory, number theory, logic and proofs, study of relations (including equivalence relations), combinatorics, and logic gate circuit design.
Discrete Mathematics gives us the tools, techniques and ideas to study human made systems such as communications systems, transport networks, logic gate circuits and their applications. We can make comparators, flip-flops, adders (half and full) and many circuits useful in control theory and computing.
Discrete Mathematics poses a wide range of research problems and important applications in industry. It has applications to all fields of computer science.
Famous Mathematicians
- Boole (1815-1864)
- Euler (1707-1783)
- Godel (1906- 1978)
- Pascal (1623-1662)
- Pythagoras (569-475 BC)
why study discrete mathematics
ReplyDelete1. it develop your mathematical thinking.
2. discrete mathematics improve your problem solving skills and ability.
3. many problems can be solve using discrete mathematics.
Discrete mathematics is important in subjects like computer design, database, computer security, operating systems etc.
An analog clock has gears inside, and the sizes/teeth needed for correct timekeeping are determined using discrete math. Wiring a computer network using the least amount of cable is a minimum-weight spanning tree problem. Encryption and decryption are part of cryptography, which is part of discrete mathematics.
