Discrete mathematics is a branch of mathematics that deals with countable, distinct, and separate objects or structures. Unlike continuous mathematics, which involves concepts like calculus and analysis that deal with continuous variables, discrete mathematics focuses on objects that can be enumerated or listed. It is foundational for computer science and information technology because these fields often work with discrete objects, such as integers, graphs, and logical statements.
