Get the Mathematics mug.Somewhat broad category of mathematical subjects that concern discrete, rather than continuous objects. A good example of this distinction is the kind of functions you study in discrete math. Where as calculus differentiates and integrates functions defined for every value in some interval of real numbers, the kind of function examined in discrete math is often called a 'mapping', a rule that associates each members in one set with one in another. Often, these sets are finite, and so the elements are discrete, rather than continuous.
The topics addressed in a discrete math class vary, but it seems every curriculum has mathematical logic, set theory, formal proof techniques, number theory and probability. Other topics you might run into are abstract algebra (e.g., group theory), graph theory, linear programming, game theory and algorithmic complexity.
In addition to teaching students very important methods of proof and logic, discrete mathematics also gives a fun rundown of topics with a lot of practical applications.
(In the US, the median income of the few people who have the attention span and maturity to learn about things like discrete math is $81,240. True fact.)

This definition was routed to the Urban Dictionary server with an algorithm based on graph theory, which is a part of discrete math. Even if you don't like it, you have to admit it's useful.

A math equation that decides if somebody (normally a female) can be considered slutty.
The equation is shown below:
(# of past partners) / (age - 10) = X
Possible answers:
X<1 Good girl, the kind you take home to mom.
X=1 Average, there is nothing wrong with being normal.
X>1 SLUT, fun to play with but generally crazy.

Guy 1: Rachel looks cute, but with my Slut Math skills I have determined she is a slut.
Guy 2: How did you do that?
Guy 1: Well she is 16 years old, and has slept with 18 guys. It is simple math, 18/6=3.
Guy 2: Damn dude, you're right, she is a super slut!

Get the Slut Math mug.When you irresponsibly or prematurely walk away from a math test or exam, instead of waiting until the end of the paper, when everyone is allowed to leave the room, because you can’t handle the difficult or brain-unfriendly questions, especially after boasting to the whole world that you have a “genius IQ.“
During the 60-minute math test the other day, everybody was surprised to see Don do a math trump, who consoled himself that he could always pay a Shapiro to sit for his SAT if he failed again.

Get the Do a Math Trump mug."Mother Fucker" as spoken in ebonic slang. Usually spoken in a questioning manner and often accompanied by a blank, cow-eyed stare. Proper pronunciation can be easily achieved by sticking half a biscuit in the mouth and saying "mother fucker" as it would normally be pronounced.

Get the mathel fackle mug.When Singapore’s affirmative action allows Malay students to pay zero school fees all the way up to their tertiary education, which has raised the mathematical proficiency of the Malay community over the decades—Malay math students, of which 99⁺% are Muslims, have fared reasonably well in international comparative studies like TIMSS and PISA vis-à-vis their foreign counterparts, albeit they still have some catching up to do compared to their local peers from other races.
Years ago, based on some TIMSS rankings, a Malay cabinet minister had figured out that Singapore Malay students are unofficially among the “world’s top ten,” which positively suggests that Malay math policies have helped raise the quantitative literacy of the Malay or Muslim community in Singapore.
