Last update: prof. RNDr. Jan Kratochvíl, CSc. (23.09.2020)

The exam is oral and may be performed remotely. The knowledge and skills examined correspond to the syllabus in extent presented during the lectures. Common understanding to all notions and their relationship, theorems including proofs and ability to apply the acquired skills to simple situations related to the topics of the class are subject of the examination. Credit from the recitations must be obtained prior to enrolling to an exam.
