Learning outcomes
|
The aim of the subject is to get Ph.D. students acquainted with the basic pieces of knowledge of analysis and synthesis of systems. There will be mentioned basic characteristics of static and dynamic systems, design of their mathematical models and methods of their optimization. Study of this subject will enable Ph.D. students to make their next theoretical research and it practical application and implementation using IT more efficient
Students obtain knowledge in given course in accordance with requirements and course programme.
