  • Spring 2021/2022
  • When and where = Fridays (9:00-11:30) in T10 (Troja)
  • Language: Czech or English
  • Requirements for exam: To pass the exam, students should prove understanding of the fundamental parts of the theory and ability to solve typical problems.
  • To get to the exam, students have to solve a project assignment, pass a midterm (písemka v půlce semestru), and solve the homeworks.
  • Assignments and study materials will be available in MS Teams.
  • Some content is based on our book.

Lectures

Approximate syllabus (will be adapted to the students):
