How useful is discrete math to an electrical engineer; particularly how useful is it to an ic designer?

Ya I know that me and you discussed this in a past thread. But I wanted to start a new thread that was specifically about this question so I could here other peoples opinions. Is there something wrong with that? If there is please let me know, because I don't really see anything wrong with this because the last thread was about whether discrete math was more important than complex variables.
 
Nothing wrong with it, it just confused me some. I hope you get some additional answers from folks in this thread.
