Importance of Discrete Mathematics in Computer Science

Discrete mathematics is the formal language of computer science. The importance of discrete mathematics and its applications has increased dramatically in recent years. Discrete mathematics is vital in studying and describing objects and problems in branches of computer science. Such as Computer algorithms Programming languages Cryptography Automated theorem proving Software development Inversely, computer applications are predominant in applying ideas from discrete mathematics to real-world problems, like Operations research. Discrete mathematics deals with distinct or separated values. The term varies in contrast with continuous mathematics, which deals with real numbers. The study of discrete structures and how they combine is known as Combinatorics. Combinatorics also studies the probabilities of various outcomes of such structures. Other fields of Mathematics that deal with discrete mathematics include graph theory and theory o
