Mode of study

Not applicable.

Learning outcomes of the course unit

Not applicable.

Prerequisites

The course is designed as a recapitulation of basic concepts, hence a prior exposure to discrete mathematics and logic on a university level is desirable but not necessary.

Co-requisites

Not applicable.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

Not applicable.

Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes

Not applicable.

Course curriculum

Not applicable.

Work placements

Not applicable.

Aims

The goal is to refresh and possibly complete knowledge of notions from discrete mathematics and logic that are essential for computer science, and also practice usage of the mathematical apparatus and language.

Specification of controlled education, way of implementation and compensation for absences

  • A written final test, with the maximum gain of 100 points. There will two terms of the test, hence a student has at most two attempts to pass the course (if he/she attends both terms).
  • If a student can substantiate serious reasons for an absence from both tests, (s)he will be examined individually.
  • Voluntary homeworks may be posted during the semester. They are scored according to their difficulty (solving the homeworks is not necessary to pass the course).

Recommended optional programme components
