  • acquire knowledge of key analytical techniques such as Fourier and wavelet analysis,
  • get to know statistical statistical modelling possibilities of time series,
  • learn methods to create symbolic pattern descriptions from time series,
  • practice scientific working methods (recognizing, formulating, solving problems, training the ability to abstract),
  • practice oral communication skills in the exercises by practicing free speech in front of an audience.

Prerequisites
