Základní znalosti z teorie množin a zběhlost v manipulaci se symbolickými hodnotami.

Aims

Teach the students the basics of the theory of graphs necessary to formulate combinatorial problems on graphs. Teach them how to solve the most frequently occurring problems using efficient algorithms. Make them familiar with some heuristic approaches to intractable problems. Teach them the basics of linear programming and the theory of games and their applications in business.


The students will know the basics of the theory of graphs necessary to formulate combinatorial problems on graphs. They will be able to solve the most frequently occurring problems using efficient algorithms. They will also be familiar with some heuristic approaches to intractable problems. They will learn the basics of linear programming and the theory of games and their applications in business.
