Discrete mathematics is a broad branch of mathematics concerned with discrete elements like sets and graphs. It forms a broad subset for many areas of modern mathematics (graph theory, combinatorics, probability theory), and is foundational to modern computer science, especially with data structures, algorithmic design, compilers, and cryptography.
