Haha. LOL @ discrete math . . .

Okay well first, in understanding what discrete math means, let's discern "discrete" from "discreet;" the former means separable, finite parts, while the latter means careful, cautious, guarded, hidden, particularly in terms of speech.

Apples are discrete until you turn them into applesauce. Water is not discrete until you turn it into ice cubes.

So discrete mathematics deals with finite, identifiable numbers and sets. In other words, it's not calculus. This group of math theories requires non-infinity, which is to say that there must be a finite amount of numbers between 0 and 1.
