In fact, the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) amended the guideline so that a discrete methematics course is required.
What guideline? -- Wapcaplet 01:59 9 Jun 2003 (UTC)
- I don't know. The textbook I am using says
- Subsequently, discrete mathematics courses were endorsed by many groups for several different audiences, including mathematics and computer science majors. A panel of the mathematical Association of America (MAA) endorsed a year-long course in discrete mathematics. The Educational Acctivities Board of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) recommended a freshman discrete mathematics course. The Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) and IEEE accrediation guidelines mandated a discrete mathematics course.
I just summarised this. Do we have to specify what guideline? Is it really significant to do that? -- Taku 05:17 9 Jun 2003 (UTC)

So you could also call this fundamentally-unfundamental mathematics, fabricated mathematics or even pseudo-mathematics???
Countable Sets?
The article says that Most, if not all, of the objects studied in finite mathematics are countable sets, such as the integers. Are they? The article lists linear algebra and set theory as things included in discrete mathematics. In linear algebra one often studies vector spaces with countable dimension, but real and complex vector spaces of any dimension are obviously not countable. Clearly set theory is not restricted to countable sets. Josh Cherry 04:20, 7 Dec 2004 (UTC)
Discrete maths apply to ALL computer programming languages, etc.
"Discrete mathematics is a common type of mathematics used particularly in the web programming languages, PHP, ASP, and Perl."
- Yeah, I just deleted that silliness. Josh Cherry 00:08, 14 Jan 2005 (UTC)
