Discrete

What do we mean by discrete?

Constituting a separate thing: synonym: distinct. adjective

Consisting of unconnected distinct parts. adjective

Defined for a finite or countable set of values; not continuous. adjective

To separate; discontinue.

Separate; distinct from others; individual: opposed to concrete.

Consisting of distinct or individual parts; not continuous.

In Med., opposed to confluent: as, discrete exanthemata.

In botany, not coalescent; distinct.

Disjunctive; consisting of parts united by some extrinsic bond of connection. Thus, the notion of “women, sailors, and idiots” is a discrete notion.

Discretive; containing exceptions, real or apparent.

To separate. transitive verb

Separate; distinct; disjunct. adjective

Disjunctive; containing a disjunctive or discretive clause. adjective

Separate; not coalescent; -- said of things usually coalescent. adjective

See Concrete movement of the voice, under Concrete, a. adjective

Proportion where the ratio of the means is different from that of either couplet; as, 3:6::8:16, 3 bearing the same proportion to 6 as 8 does to 16. But 3 is not to 6 as 6 to 8. It is thus opposed to continued or continual proportion; as, 3:6::12:24. adjective

That which must be divided into units, as number, and is opposed to continued quantity, as duration, or extension. adjective

Separate; distinct; individual; Non-continuous. adjective

That can be perceived individually and not as connected to, or part of something else. adjective

Having separate electronic components, such as individual resistors and inductors — the opposite of integrated circuitry. adjective

Separate; distinct; individual; non-continuous.

That can be perceived individually and not as connected to, or part of something else.

Having separate electronic components, such as individual diodes, transistors and resisters, as opposed to integrated circuitry.

(audio engineering) Having separate and independent channels of audio, as opposed to multiplexed stereo or quadraphonic, or other multi-channel sound.

Having each singleton subset open: said of a topological space or a topology.

Disjunctive; containing a disjunctive or discretive clause.

A creeper which is more skilled than the average creeper and does not get caught on the creep. Urban Dictionary

That immense amount of power conferred upon one without commensurate knowledge, experience, or understanding, such that, in effect, the village idiot ends up holding the keys to the U.S. nuclear arsenal, or worse, won't let you into your own office building so you can finish working on that one document that will define the rest of your career and is due tomorrow morning.

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.) Urban Dictionary
