Q: When has discrete understanding preceded continuous?

Joseph O'RourkeFrom my limited perspective, it appears that the understanding of a mathematical phenomenon has usually been achieved, historically, in a continuous setting before it was fully explored in a discrete setting. An example I have in mind is the relatively recent activity in discrete differential geo...
