Intended learning outcomes
Discrete mathematics Discrete mathematics is mathematics connected to computer science. The main goal is to give the student basic knowledge in this field. After the course the student will be able to:* describe a problem with a graph and know basic properties of graphs* show some statements by induction* be able to do some calculations in the ring Zn and in the field Zp* use basic relations for the natural numbers More over the student will be able to use a mathematical computer program. Mathematical statisticsThe main goal is that the student will be able to practically use statistical methods. After the course the student will be able to describe data graphically with statistical parameters as the mean and variance. Given a set of data the student will be able to* make point estimations of some statistical variables and to calculate the error of the estimation.* make confidence intervals* construct a hypothesis test More over the student will be able to make simulations based on random events.

Ethical approach
- All members of a group are responsible for the group's work.
- In any assessment, every student shall honestly disclose any help received and sources used.
- In an oral assessment, every student shall be able to present and answer questions about the entire assignment and solution.
