Learning activities and teaching methods
Monologic (reading, lecture, briefing), Dialogic (discussion, interview, brainstorming)
Learning outcomes
The course is a continuation of DMIA. Its first part is targeted at the graph theory, including some chosen graph algorithms. Further, the theory of generating functions is performed with applications on word problems (the Pólya theorem) and the technique of solving linear recurrence relations as well. The course is performed in English.
The student understands the fundamental concepts of the graph theory. He/she performs the basic graph operations and determines some typical parameters of the graph. He/she masters the Prüfer coding of the trees, the greedy, the Dijkstra and the Floyd algorithms, and, on a variety of word problems, demonstrates the use of the generating functions and the linear recurrence relations. The students fulfill all their duties in English.
