A continuous function allows the x-values to be ANY points in the interval, including fractions, decimals, and irrational values. A discrete function allows the x-values to be only certain points in the interval, usually only integers or whole numbers.: Graph the continuous function: y = x 2 for all Reals.
Discrete mathematics. Discrete mathematics is the study of mathematical structures that are fundamentally discrete rather than continuous. In contrast to real numbers that have the property of varying smoothly, the objects studied in discrete mathematics â such as integers, graphs, and statements in logic â do not vary smoothly in this way, but have distinct, separated values. Discrete mathematics therefore excludes topics in continuous mathematics such as calculus and analysis. Discrete objects can often ...
