Graphs like this are among the objects studied by discrete mathematics, for their interesting mathematical properties, their usefulness as models of real-world problems, and their importance in developing computer algorithms. Discrete mathematics is the study of mathematical structures that are fundamentally discrete rather than continuous.
For example, a sigma-algebra is a collection of sets closed under countable union and a sigma-compact topological space is a topological space which is the union of countably many compact subsets. The symbol is also used to denote the divisor function.
