Discrete vs. Continuous Distributions . Discrete refers to a random variable drawn from a finite set of possible outcomes. A six-sided die, for example, has six discrete outcomes. A continuous ...

This course will discuss fundamental concepts and tools in discrete mathematics with emphasis on their applications to computer science. Example topics include logic and Boolean circuits; sets, ...
