Discrete Mathematics

Telling someone to learn discrete mathematics is mathematicians' way to tell you to fuck off

>Also, general discrete math thread
Why would anyone want to talk about such a boring topic? kek

He's not a real mathematician though.

It's supposed to mean you clearly lack mathematical basics

>>8275001
Yeah so? I am not a mathematician either. The only math I have 'good' knowledge of is statistics and probability stuff.

>>8274963
Get a book on proofs

>>8274966
Aww poor babby hates CS majors

If you don't even have the level of discrete mathematics, and can't even seemingly just read a damn book on it, you do not have a good knowledge of probability.

>>8275003
pretty sure you're not that 'good' in statistics or probability stuff if you don't know discrete math. Maybe you should think twice about that student assistant position and spend that time to learn things with some real substance

This. Discrete math is typically taught as an intro to proofs course early on in a math majors program. It's unlikely he means learn discrete math because saying that is about as vague as saying to learn continuous math.

There do exist intro to proofs books and your university probably has a discrete math course as well. Alternatively you could read an introductory text on formal logic (the proof techniques are the same but presented more formally in the logic texts).
