Lectures

Lectures will be delivered by Matej Hoffmann or Tomas Svoboda (TS).

PDF of the slides will be posted on this page. Preliminary version (e.g., last year's) before the lecture. Latest version, including teacher's notes shortly after the lecture. If you spot mistakes in the slides, please report them. Important corrections may be rewarded with bonus points. Note, however, that the lectures will contain a significant portion of blackboard writing as well as some live programming pieces. Reading/watching slides only is not enough. Active participation in lectures is welcomed and encouraged.

Books, on-line resources, specialization courses will be referenced throughout the lectures - typically from the last lecture slide.

The schedule will be frequently updated, in particular taking into account FEE Covid19 info. The lectures switch to the Distance teaching mode from March 23, 2020.
