The Discrete Math major is a rigorous degree program that gives the students substantial exposure to computing and those areas of mathematics that are most closely associated with computation. These branches of mathematics are devoted to the study of "discrete" as opposed to "continuous" structures.
The curriculum for this bachelor's degree program combines basic work in mathematics, science, and advanced studies in discrete mathematics with substantial training in these areas of application. Courses in computer science beyond the first two semesters are required, as well as courses in Industrial and Systems Engineering.
Students who earn the Bachelor of Science in Discrete Mathematics have demonstrated a high level of competency in the analytical and technical skills in both computing and mathematics.
See the Georgia Tech Catalog for a complete list of degree requirements in Discrete Mathematics.

MATH 1512 / 2406 policy: Students who took MATH 1512 earning a grade of A or B have the option of substituting another upper level math course* for MATH 2406 toward their degree requirement for MATH or DMTH. When such a student wants to register for a class that has MATH 2406 as a prereq, the student will need to submit a prereq override request noting that he/she completed MATH 1512 with a grade of A or B, which the SoM will grant.
*course must be approved by School of Mathematics
Students who took MATH 1512 earning a grade of A or B still have the option of taking MATH 2406 if they wish. A student should NOT register for MATH 2406 AFTER the student has successfully completing MATH 4107 and/or MATH 4317.
