Discrete Math

Study of mathematical structures that are fundamentally discrete rather than continuous.

Practical Applications

Network Analysis

Understanding Connections

Discrete math helps us analyze and optimize networks—like transportation systems, social media, or computer networks.

What Do We Analyze?

  • Shortest Path: Finding the quickest route between two places.
  • Network Flow: Determining how much stuff can move through a network.
  • Connectivity: Making sure everyone can reach each other in a network.

Everyday Applications

From planning your trip to optimizing internet traffic, network analysis is all around us!

Examples

  • Finding the shortest route to school using a map app.

  • Social media platforms recommend friends by analyzing connections.
