Course objectives
Students will learn the basic mathematical algorithms that find their application in practice. The subject matter discussed is practiced using simple examples. The aim of this training is a deeper understanding of the discussed methods that enable students to effectively make use of computer technology, the deployment of which in analogous problems on a larger scale is necessary.
Syllabus
  • 1. Selected topics from the game theory: games with mixed strategies, games against nature, solution algorithms.
    2. Mathematical models for service waiting. Queuing theory. Model examples.
