Qualification Goals
- Algorithm design skills,
- Knowledge of the most important design and analysis paradigms,
- Use of efficient data structures for the design of algorithms,
- Insights into the analysis of algorithms with respect to correctness and efficiency
- Practice of scientific methods (recognition, formulation, and solution of problems, training of abstract thinking),
- Training of oral communication skills in the exercises by practicing free speech in front of an audience and during discussion.
