Learning activities and teaching methods
Monologic (reading, lecture, briefing), Dialogic (discussion, interview, brainstorming)
Learning outcomes
The course is a continuation of DMI. 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 the linear recurrence relations as well.
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.

Assessment methods and criteria
Oral examination, Written examination, Test

Active attendance on the seminars (two absences are allowed, more absences will be tolerated (for some extra homeworks) just for serious reasons). There are the assesment test during the semestr. Student has to collect at least 50 percent for them. The course is finished by final examination test. To pass the course succesfully student has to collect at least 50 percent from the examination test.
