Course objectives
The fourth part of the block of four courses in Mathematics in its extended version. In the entire course, the fundamentals of general algebra, linear algebra and mathematical analysis, including their applications in probability, statistics are presented. This semester introduces elemetns of number theory, algebra and some combinatorial methods, including numerical and applied aspects.
Syllabus
  • 1. Computer algebra introduction (3 týdny) – groups, permutations, symetries, modular groups, homomorfisms and factorization, group actions (Burnside lemma); rings and fields (polynomials and their roots, divisibility in integers and in polynomial rings, ideals; finite fields and their basic properties (including applications in computer science; polynomials of more variables (Gröbner basis).
  • 2. Number theory (4 weeks) – divisiblity (gcd, extended Euclid algorithm, Bezout); numerics of big numbers (gcd, modular exponential); prime numbers (properties, basic theorems of arithmetics, factorization, prime number testing (Rabin-Miller, Mersenneho prime numbers); congruences (basic properties, small Fermat theorem; Euler theorem; linear congruences; binomial congruences a primitiv roots; discrete logarithm; prime numbers - testing up to AKS, divisors, eliptic curves (introduction); Legendre symbol and the quadratic reciprocity law.
  • 3. Number theory applications (1 week) – short introduction to asymetric cryptography (RSA, DH, ElGamal, DSA, ECC); basic coding theory (linear and polynomial codes); aplication of fast Fourier transform for quick computations (e.g. Schönhage-Strassen)
  • 4. Combinatorics (4 weeks) – reminder of basics of combinatorics; generalized binomial theorem; combinatorial identities; Catalan numbers; formál power seriew; (ordinary) generating functions; exponential generating functions; probabilistic generating functions; solving combinatorial problems with the help of generating functions; solving basic reccurences (Fibonacci); complexity of reccurent algorithm; generating functions in computer science (graph applications, complexity, hashing analysis)
