Qualification Goals
- development of a basic mathematical theory for the description of state-based systems,
- understanding category-theoretical methods and conceptual formations and applications in computer science,
- scientific skills (recognition, formulation, problem solving, abstraction),
- training of oral communication skills in the labs by practicing free speech and discussion in front of an audience.
