Course detail
Mathematical Principles of Computer Science
FSI-VZI-KAcad. year: 2018/2019
The course provides students with the introduction to mathematical computer science. Basic mathematical structures of the branch are discussed, their properties and implementation. C# is used as an implementation tool. Practical use of theorems and consequents is demonstrated on the implementation of simple technical applications.

Aims
The course objective is to make students familiar with basic mathematical structures of the branch and with the methodology of their possible implementations. It is the introduction to the applicability and adequacy of their use.
Specification of controlled education, way of implementation and compensation for absences
The attendance at lectures is recommended while at seminars it is obligatory. Education runs according to week schedules. The form of compensation of missed seminars is fully in the competence of a tutor.
