Discrete mathematics has witnessed a rise in popularity over the past few decades due to its utility in computer technology, which makes it essential to computer science and engineering. This is thus because the study of very small sets of numbers is the main focus of discrete mathematics. However, computer implementations play a critical role in transferring discrete mathematics concepts to real-world applications, like operations research. In all areas of computer science, including the development of computer algorithms, programming languages, cryptography, flow charts, computer networks using graphs, logic building, automated theorem proving, and software development, concepts and notations from discrete mathematics are useful in the study and description of objects and issues. Discrete mathematics mostly deals with sets, graphs, combinatorics, logical statements, and other related topics.
