The document defines discrete mathematics and contrasts it with continuous mathematics. It discusses logic, statements, logical connectives, translating statements to symbolic representations, and truth tables. Discrete mathematics concerns processes with discrete, individual steps rather than continuous sequences. Logic studies valid vs invalid reasoning and the relationships between statements. Simple statements can be combined using logical connectives like negation, conjunction, and disjunction to form compound statements. Truth tables specify the truth value of compound propositions based on the truth values of their constituent propositions.
