Discrete mathematics involves the study of objects which are separated or spaced apart from each other. For example, finite sets and the set of integers are discrete sets, while the set of real numbers would be considered to be a continuous, or non-discrete, set of objects. The difference between discreteness and continuity can also be seen in distinguishing between digital signals (discrete) and analog signals (continuous). As these examples suggest, discrete mathematics forms a conceptual complement to the continuous processes which underlie the study of calculus. Discrete sets often carry additional structures such as an operation (addition, multiplication, concatenation, union or intersection, for example) or an inequality relationship, and, when present, these structures are instrumental in developing deeper theories. With both the subject itself, as well as the experience of working with mathematical arguments, the course will provide a foundation for moving into higher level mathematics courses such as real analysis, abstract algebra, math modelling, geometry and topology.
