Discrete maths is graph theorems, groups, galois fields, and so on.

There are several algorithms (in for example graphs and crypto) that you can not understand or implement without discrete maths. But even then, only the basic level is required.

Maybe only guy ever needs to know these things in a FAANG? (Meaning, could implementing these algorithms keep more than guy busy?)
