10948-01 - Main lecture: Theory of Computer Science (8 CP)
| Semester | spring semester 2020 |
| Further events belonging to these CP |
10948-02 (Practical course) 10948-03 (Practical course) 10948-01 (Main lecture) |
| Course frequency | Every spring sem. |
| Lecturers | Gabriele Röger (gabriele.roeger@unibas.ch, Assessor) |
| Content | The course gives an introduction to the theory of computer science. Topics are: logic, automata theory and formal languages, computability and complexity theory |
| Learning objectives | The participants should be able to formulate statements and situations in logical systems and to formally derive logical consequences. They should develop a precise understanding of initially intuitive concepts such as computability and complexity. This will enable them to determine the fundamental hardness of computer science problems and to infer consequences for practical approaches. |
