Abstract

Why I hate the Continuous and Love the Discrete I have always loved the discrete and hated the continuous. Perhaps it was the trauma of having to go through the usual curriculum of rigorous, Cauchy-Weierstrass-style, real calculus, where one has all those tedious, pedantic and utterly boring, ε-δ proofs. The meager (obvious) conclusions hardly justify the huge mental efforts! Complex Analysis was a different story. Even though officially continuous, it has the feel of discrete math, and one can cheat and consider power series as formal power series, and I really loved it.
