What is the difference between math and discrete math?

Answer 1

In discrete math, solution are distinct and separated. For example we look at how many ways something can happen,and that number is a natural number. We look at how many ways to color a graph and the answers are distinct. When we look at solutions in many other areas of math, the answers are not distinct, we may have an answer like Pi, or square root of 2.In stats, we can look at the temperature as a variable and let is take on any value, not just integers. In calculus, which is not discrete, the answers are rarely distinct natural numbers.
