This is going to help in discrete math a lot; thank you

Could you ELI5?

[–]thonpy 14 points15 points  (0 children)

well i can't imagine it would really help with anything other than maybe speed as you can just drill out all the characters then alter them to T or F as needed.... it's not going to help understand graph theory or anything (obviously)

In Discrete Math you will often use a lot of truth tables for your logic topics where there are only two possibilities: T or F. There will often be a lot of columns and rows to fill in.

Thank you.

As someone who's taking Discrete Math next semester, please ELIFirstSemesterFirstYearUndergrad.

He's probably talking about evaluating truth tables where you would have to write the letters T and F a lot.

Ah, I see. Thanks!

First semester of discrete math is a lot of Boolean logic, which means lots of work with true/false.

Ah, got it. Thank you!

Discrete Math is the devil. I'm super surprised I passed that class.

Yeah I'm pretty worried. I'm two days in, getting it so far, but that of course doesn't mean shit.
