# discrete-math ## Math Hierarchy: Discrete Mathematics * Discrete Math * Set theory * Combinatorics * Graph theory * Order theory * Game theory ## Discrete Mathematics Discrete Mathematics studies discrete, separate and enumerable mathematical objects and structures. Since computers operate on discrete bits of data, Discrete Mathematics overlaps with Computer Science in its study of: * algorithms * algorithmic complexity * proofs * formal language * automata * computability * correctness of programming languages * automated and assisted theorem proving Solving a problem computationally requires * modeling the world * devising an algorithm * determining its efficiency and correctness --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter: ``` GET https://mandober.gitbook.io/math-debrief/100-fundamentals/terms/discrete-math.md?ask= ``` The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
