    Since when does Discrete Math cover probabillity & statistics? That's like saying: "I took American Lit, trust my American History knowledge."
    Probably about 400 years years ago.

    You took Discrete Math 400 years ago? Impressive.

    As for me, I took it about 6 years ago in A&M.

    Course description pulled from their website:
    MATH 302 - Discrete Mathematics - Summer 2016

    Formal structures for describing data, algorithms and computing devices; theory and applications of sets, graphs and algebraic structures. Prerequisite: MATH 152 or equivalen
    To be sure, I pulled up course descriptions from select other universities as well.

    University of Texas:
    Prerequisite: One of M408D, M408L, or M408S, with a grade of at least C-, or consent of instructor. This is a first course that emphasizes understanding and creating proofs. Therefore, it provides a transition from the problem-solving approach of calculus to the entirely rigorous approach of advanced courses such as M365C or M373K. The number of topics required for coverage has been kept modest so as to allow adequate time for students to develop theorem-proving skills.
    Notre Dame:
    CSE 20110: Discrete Mathematics (Fall 2015, Fall 2014, Fall 2013, Fall 2012, and Fall 2011)

    Course description: Introduction to mathematical techniques fundamental to computer engineering and computer science. Topics: mathematical logic, induction, set theory, relations, functions, recursion, recurrence relations, introduction to asymptotic analysis, algebraic structures, graphs, and machine computation.
    John Hopkins:
    605.203 - Discrete Mathematics

    This course emphasizes the relationships between certain mathematical structures and various topics in computer science. Topics include set theory, graphs and trees, algorithms, propositional calculus, logic and induction, functions, relational algebra, and matrix algebra.
    Course prerequisites: Calculus is recommended. A mathematics course beyond one year of calculus is needed for admission to the Computer Science Program. Students who lack this prerequisite can fulfill admission requirements by completing this course with a grade of A or B.
    But I guess 400 years ago Discrete math focused on probability. What do I know, I only graduated with a math degree.

    And I have a masters in engineering. And when we were taught discrete mathematics using THIS text, it included Discrete PROBABILITY Distribution:

    Texas education system, I tell ya.

    Having to self dox like this is a huge loss. You should quit and go back to your og laker fan handle or your upstairs dabom handle

    I absolutely love that you actually found a Discrete Math book that talks about probability. Not surprised you did. Some universities do include probability theory in their courses. Thing is, Discrete Math (and really anything above Cal 3) rarely focuses on actual application of math. It's main focus is THEORY. You claiming you took Discrete Math doesn't add any credibility to your ability to calculate and apply probability. It was just thrown in there to make yourself sound credible. The book you included reiterates this point. It has one absolutely basic applied example, then goes into a detailed explanation on theory.

    It would have been much more effective to say you took Statistical Analysis (I'm sure you took some form of statistics if you've received a Master's in engineering). Even College Algebra has more actual application of probability.

    Discrete math typically has a pretty short introduction to combinatorics and probability before you get into things like induction, recurrences, and graph theory.

    The one I took didn't include probability, that was covered in Number Theory at A&M. However I will acquiesce that what you say is true, in the most basic sense.

    Same thing in Florida in '13. You still ain't explained that.
    SF didn't rush the court for James. You rushed the court for Jordan.

    The course I took had it, but it was about a 3 inch deep delve into probability (and that part was boring as since I had taken two quarters of probability already ). School made me take that though for a CS degree. I thought about taking number theory, but there was so much overlap with algebra that I felt like I knew half the material already. Maybe should have just jumped into algebraic number theory or analytic number theory.

    But, they strung the ropes in Florida in anticipation of the Heat losing. Why? Heat Fan would not have rushed the floor at loss, just like Laker Fan would not have. And Spur Fan, supposedly was back in Texas like supposedly Bulls Fan was back in Illinois. Explain it.

    Look for "discrete mathematics" books on amazon. The the one we used is the second one listed. Youre suggesting it just HAPPENED to have a chapter on probability.

    The FIRST one listed also has a chapter on probability:

    https://www.amazon.com/Discrete-Math...te+mathematics

    The THIRD one listed also has a chapter on probability:

    https://www.amazon.com/Discrete-Math...te+mathematics

    The FOURTH one listed also has a chapter on probability:

    https://www.amazon.com/Discrete-Math...te+mathematics

    So how the can you not just admit that you ed up?
