Discrete mathematics therefore excludes topics in "continuous mathematics" such as calculus and analysis. Discrete objects

The construction of a fundamental understanding of numeration and place value concepts forms the foundation for all additional branches of mathematics (Booker‚ et al.‚ 2010). Computational processes and patterns of thinking require a clear understanding of these concepts‚ as they underpin the learning and use of mathematics (Booker et al.‚ 2010).
