   Discrete Math.
  Hi guys Today I'm taking up the subject Discrete math in my course.I have a question what the connection of Discrete Math w/ game developing?thanks..   
  Well discrete math is useful for lots of things, counting possabilities, figureing out paths, circuits, and so on.   ;  yeah mainly paths and graphs, probability and randomness,etc.;  guys what do you mean?Kinda lost there.How  can I apply the theories in developing a game?Thanks.;  Graph theory -> basis for data structures, finite state automata, formal languages, pathfinding, etc. -> programming languages as we know them.Equivilence relations -> important in more advanced linear algebra -> crucial for understanding of advanced vector mathetc.Discrete math as found in theoretical computer science is a foundation for all parts of computer science. So a better question perhaps is, what part of programming doesn't use discrete math? (or, isn't based somehow on it)?   ;Quote:Original post by etothexSo a better question perhaps is, what part of programming doesn't use discrete math?

(or, isn't based somehow on it)?Me pressing the compile button, because I dont care how it works. Just like I can drive a car and not know how everything works. Just like people use computers for email, that dont know how it works. But seriously, dont be too overdramatic about it. Math is definately the basis for the theories behind computer science. It will definately benift you to study that kind of math is the point being made.etothex - you should watch the movie "pi" if you havent already :)
