Key Summary
The study branch Discrete models and algorithms offers wide education in theoretical and mathematical fundaments of computer science. The student obtains knowledge in the area of discrete models and related algorithmic and data techniques and various mathematical methods for their design. The study familiarizes the student both with the last results on discrete models, algorithms, and optimization and with possibilities and limitations in solving related algorithmic questions. The students acquire thorough mathematical knowledge necessary for the analysis and design of discrete models and algorithms. The students can apply their skills in practice or can continue in the Ph.D. study of computer science or related areas.
The graduate is familiar with discrete approaches and techniques and discrete structures in computer science and in algorithmic modeling of practical phenomena. Depending on the population, he or she has good knowledge in several of the areas: combinatorics (graph theory), probabilistic techniques and methods, discrete and computational geometry, algebraic and topological methods, number theory, linear and nonlinear programming, discrete optimization.
The graduate is prepared for Ph.D. study and is in contact with the last results in the area and, ideally, make his or her own contribution. The graduate can work in academia or in practical areas applying algorithms and discrete modeling.
