An exclamation of extreme displeasure. Derived from the frustrating school subject of mathematics. Used to replace such derogatory words as: fuck, screw, shit,and damn. Often referred to as the "universal pronoun". It can be used to cover a mistake such as cussing in front of your grannie (no one likes to get their ear pulled) --OH fu-- math!

Get the Math 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.)

The previous contributor knocked discrete math on the Internet, not realizing that his message was routed to this server with an algorithm based on graph theory, which is a part of discrete math. Jesus fucken' Christ-on-a-cracker, is he ever dumb.

Get the math class mug.A guy who is very sassy and tries to be the funniest kid, he try’s so hard to make people laugh but always swears. He sucks up to teachers making him self look good. He gets many girlfriends and breaks up with them and gets one the second they break up. He is short and may come from some where like Europe . He has many cousins and they usually know who you are. You can’t take him anywhere in public without him getting in a fight, you become his bestie and then he does something wrong and tries to make you apologise at the end. He is a very funny kid though and everyone loves him at the end of the day.
