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.)
This definition was routed to the Urban Dictionary server with an algorithm based on graph theory, which is a part of discrete math. Even if you don't like it, you have to admit it's useful.

When Singapore’s affirmative action allows Malay students to pay zero school fees all the way up to their tertiary education, which has raised the mathematical proficiency of the Malay community over the decades—Malay math students, of which 99⁺% are Muslims, have fared reasonably well in international comparative studies like TIMSS and PISA vis-à-vis their foreign counterparts, albeit they still have some catching up to do compared to their local peers from other races.
Years ago, based on some TIMSS rankings, a Malay cabinet minister had figured out that Singapore Malay students are unofficially among the “world’s top ten,” which positively suggests that Malay math policies have helped raise the quantitative literacy of the Malay or Muslim community in Singapore.

When the student who fails to solve an exam math question decides to sue the teacher or school by falsely claiming that the question is incorrectly posed or that it has allegedly more than one valid answer, which is unfair to the problem solver.
Don was such a bigly loser for failing to answer more than half of the SAT math questions that his parents have frivolously filed three lawsuits against the teacher, the principal, and the school for math fraud.

When someone shows off the success of their exam-smart or pseudo-talented kids or tutees in school or olympiad math, by posting photos of their grades, awards, medals, or certificates on social media, dreaming for a googol likes in return—wayang is a Malay word that mockingly describes someone as being “fake” in the sense that they are putting up an act in front of others.
Guesstimate how many wayang math postings appear on Facebook and Instagram every year by oft-kiasu or egocentric parents to hint to their social circles of their “supernatural” parenting or tutoring skills.

Phrase used when math calculations are not exact, but close enough.
Danny: that animation sequence you gave me was a little bit long.
Andrew: Your right mate...it was off by 18 frames.
Danny: Oh you were using Aussie math.
Andrew: Close enough..she'll be 'right.

1. noun. When an asian dude puts his balls over your eyes. Done typically to humiliate and confuse dim witted lovers.
Chow really gaffled Cindy when he hit her with the math goggles. She was picking pubic hair out her eyes for a week!

A very rare form of math only used on a Friday and/or Saturday night when all of your friends who dont have a job want to party, sadly, without out the money to carry out such goals. It will only come into play when your plans are 'have a chill night with a twelve-pack with yourself or one other person' any other plans that you might have are exempt from ever having to use beer math.
HOW TO USE BEER MATH
One: you take the number of people that are going to show up adding possible no-shows or the classic 'unexpected's'.
Two: you roughly determine how much each person will have depending on serval factors, such as the time of day, the persons mood, the persons girlfriend (whether or she approves of drinking) the night before, (whether or not a possible hangover is still very much effective) so on and so forth.
Three: you then compare that to the number of beers you have total assuming of course you have no money to buy more. By calculating this equation you can then figure out roughly how many beers you will ultimately have drank by the end of the night.
Example;
~6 people
two will only drink 2-3
the rest will have 6 or more
Divided into 30 beers
= a shitty Friday night.
What!??! Alex and Share are comming too??!? *mumbles to himself while counting fingers* Shit! Using Beer Math that only leaves me with five beers!!
