Prerequisites
Examples in the course are presented in the Prolog programming language, students have to manage the principles of Prolog (to understand program operation) themselves. Passing IB013 Logic Programming is thus an advantage, but not a requirement.
Course Enrolment Limitations
The course is also offered to the students of the fields other than those the course is directly associated with.
