Has anyone studied discrete maths?

I’m like 9 weeks into the trimester and I still can’t even really define wth this is lmao. If someone put a gun to my head and gave me 1 hour to define it, I’m outta here

discrete math is basically the study of the underlying logic and theories of math It helps you learn how to prove certain things like a computer algorithm, i've been interested but I haven't finished high school yet so I could be wrong

Nah I don’t think you’re wrong at all. That’s pretty much it. I guess maybe it’s just that I can understand it purely as far as a rigid definition goes, but as far as understanding it intuitively, nope. But I got 100/100 on my first quiz so I guess that’s something. And then left my first actual assessment piece too late, I paid this guy $200 to do it. I got 67.5/100... And discrete maths was supposed to be his specialty. NEVER AGAIN LMAOOO

Now I can only just scrape a high distinction if I get 100/100 on the final assessment piece. He ruined me lol.

I did in university, but that was in 2015 and I barely know anything about it today because I have never used it. Just do enough to get grades, it won't matter later unless you are doing machine learning or something that uses discrete math everyday. I used to use PatrickJMT on youtube when I was in uni.

hope you pass, if you're good at this then your problem solving and logical reasoning will improve quite a bit

At the heart of discrete maths is this formulae:

Discrete maths, in a nutshell, in ComSci, it is the assembly language of maths in propositional logic, predicate logic, axioms, theorems, models, proofs, induction, and recursions. I took this class a while ago, and learnt a great deal in building controllers in embedded systems.

This section provides a complete set of lecture notes for the course and an outline of course topics.

Try to conceptually grasp its applications in the real world rather than its theoretical nuance, a mistake students make at first. If you grasp the 1st two examples i.e. [chessboard & network] given in D Scheder's lectures, you will have no trouble thereafter.

Postscript:
There two lectures have very good introductory lessons for new students.
