Credit for recitations is given after obtaining at least 50% points from home assignments (typically 4 sets of problems per semester) + at least 50% attendance of the recitations. These can be substituted in both ways following the formula 2x+4y>=3, where x is the ratio of attendance and y is the ratio of correctly solved home assignments. There is no alternative way nor second try.

Requirements to the exam -
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.
