Learning outcomes
The subject aims to become familiar with the principles and applications of information theory. It is divided into three parts. In the first part, students will learn how information is measured, coding, and the principles of data compression and coding. In the second part, they will deal with the area of automata and formal grammar, and the third part with the theory of computability and complexity. In addition to theoretical knowledge and an emphasis on mastering the formal apparatus of theoretical informatics, the exercises for this subject will be focused on the practical effects and possibilities of using the acquired theoretical knowledge.
