Discrete mathematics is a recent field linked with Computer Science. We discuss its place in university mathematics curricula and in the particular case of France, where it has difficulties to find its place. We make explicit the didactical challenges posed by discrete mathematics at university level, and present DEMIPS network and its plans to tackle them. Through two detailed examples we discuss the reasons for teaching Discrete Mathematics at university level, and illustrate our conclusions.
