Discrete mathematics covers a range of subjects like number and set theory, logic, and algorithmics. It is generally only required by math majors and computer science majors. These days the course tends to be geared toward CS majors, meanwhile some math majors are allowed to skip the subject completely as it isn't a "serious" math course by their standards.

I can't tell you the number of times I went to discuss discrete math to a math major and got instead a funny expression from their face.
