Course detail

Programming Methods

FSI-0S2Acad. year: 2025/2026

The course deals with the use of elementary program techniques in complex algorithms: string valuation; infix, prefix, postfix, binary tree. Also discussed is software modelling of optical phenomena. The course familiarises students also with: Geometric self-similarity, Hausdorff dimension. Statistic self-similarity, nature figures modelling. Elements of software measurement of Hausdorff dimension.
