Annotation -
Many objects in various areas of theoretical computer science may be formulated as problems in hypercubes. The lecture offers an overview of selected problems studied in hypercubes with emphasis on applications in theoretical computer science. It assumes only elementary knowledge and it is suitable for students in the M.Sc. programme.
