I like indiscrete maths.
Keepin’ it real, eh? That can be irrational.
Discrete math is math done in cheap motel rooms and/or in Vegas.
Getting pretty close to the joke title of Knuth’s Concrete Mathematics text here. (Continuous, Discrete → Concrete)
That would be discreet math.
(Sorry, I realize I’m no fun.)
Oh yeah, went to Vegas, filled all the pigeonholes n’then some.
They upgraded me to a new room on the second night, and I was able to do it all over again!
They kept making me move to new rooms. The hotel was full and they had to make space for new guests.
The first rule of Discrete Math Club?
You don’t talk about Discrete Math Club.
Damn. I spent $3000 per year majoring in computer science. I wonder what my Discrete Mathematics course cost, not to mention the hours I endured to get a C.
Misusing discrete to mean discreet was kinda the point, but I know many don’t appreciate puns so much, so no worries.
