Course content
Mathematical apparatus needed for the semester work (matrix calculus, congruences, series). Conversions between number systems (causes of errors). Representation of integers in the computer (signs and different types). Floating point representation of numbers (IEEE 754 standard). Information theory (introduction according to Shannon). Definition of coding and division of codes (different ways). Character encoding (different implementations and possible problems arising in computer communication). Security coding (methods used at different levels of computer systems). Non-uniform efficient codes (binary tree construction and algorithms). Compression (implementation of corresponding algorithms). Encryption (implementation of currently used algorithms). Finite automata and formal languages (use in algorithmization). Artificial intelligence (focus on applications in education).
