7. Objectives, learning outcomes and obtained knowledge

The objective is to provide the students with the required theoretical background in combinatorics, algorithmics, elementary cryptography, and graph theory for further studies in electrical engineering.

Obtained skills and expertise:

 

Theoretical knowledge and problem solving skills in the treated fields of mathematics.

 

 

 
8. Synopsis Basic concepts of combinatorics (permutations, variations, combinations). Basic concepts of graph theory (vertex, edge, degree, isomorphism). Path, circuit, connectivity, trees. Planar graphs, duality. Algorithms in graph theory (minimum cost tree, shortest path, maximum matching, flow problems, topological sorting, PERT method). Higher connectivity numbers of graphs. Graph coloring problems (vertex, edge and map coloring). Euler- and Hamiltonian circuits. Basic concepts of algorithms and complexity. Polynomially solvable and NP-complete problems. Basic concepts in number theory (divisibility, primes, congruences, Euler-Fermat theorem), algorithms in number theory (prime tests, public key cryptography). Basic concepts of abstract algebra (operations, structures), semi-groups. Groups, transformation groups, important special groups, factor group. Rings and fields.
