What is Discrete Math (in layman's terms)?

Click For Summary
Discrete math focuses on distinct, countable objects, contrasting with continuous math, which involves smooth, varying entities. It encompasses topics like graph theory and combinatorics, emphasizing finite structures. While most math falls into either discrete or continuous categories, some areas, like fuzzy logic, blur these lines. The key distinction lies in countability, with discrete math dealing with specific, separate values. Understanding these differences is essential for grasping the broader landscape of mathematical concepts.

Wikipedia says it deals with distinct objects and is differentiated from continuous math, which has objects that "vary smoothly."

For a layman, can someone explain what this means?

And is all math discrete or continuous? No other options?

What other options did you have in mind?
 
Discrete mathematics deals with values or concepts which have countable results. Key word being countable (meaning discrete).

Calculus is a mathematics which deals with continuous ideas such as limits and infinity.
