    Learning outcomes of the course
    Purpose:
    The operation of society is based on utilization of information technology where various processes of society are regulated at many levels with data. Data always describes some phenomenon or event for the interpretation of which algorithms are needed. In this course, the focus is on planning, implementation and testing of computational algorithms.

    EUR-ACE Competences:
    Knowledge and understanding 
    Engineering practice

    Learning outcomes:
