Acquisition of knowledge of contemporary theories of programming and related technologies. Students should apply acquired knowledge in anaysis, study and solving real problems.

Understanding modern theory of programming and training for the application of acquired knowledge in the development of software systems. The student is trained to analyze, study and solve real problems using the acquired knowledge.

Algorithms and data structures. Algorithms complexity. Combinatorial and graph algorithms. Cryptographic algorithms. Selected programming paradigms. Modern theory of programming. Syntax of the programming language. Semantics of the programming language (operational, denotation, and axiomatic semantics). Termination. Deterministic and non-deterministic programs. The weakest precondition. The strongest postcondition. Invariant. Program specification. Verification and validation. Differences between dominant paradigms. Imperative paradigm. Functional paradigm. Object-oriented paradigm. Technology and development tools to support modern computer programming paradigms.

Lectures. Computer practice. Consultations. The student is obliged to independently do the project and write a seminar paper.
