Learning outcomes
The general role of the subject is to interconnect research activities of the PhD students with mathematical tools. Overview of mathematical methods is taking a part in the subject. General optimizing and modelling methods as well as methods of timetable construction are included.
PhD students will have got an overview of discussed mathematical methods. They are prepared to further deepening their knowledge according to the needs arising during their research activities.
Prerequisites
There are no previous requirements on the PhD students, but overview about method of operational analysis and statistics is advantageous.

Assessment methods and criteria
Oral examination

Studying of issue and discussion about possible research topics are expected during the subject. Exam passing is needed at the end of the subject.
