Purpose and description of the content of education:
The module aims to familiarize the student with the basics of algorithms and their applications to solve biotechnological problems. First, the student will get acquainted with the selected programming environment and learn to create simple algorithm-based programs. The second part will present issues in terms of possible applications in biotechnology. The issues will be adapted to the needs of students depending on the path of education they have chosen.
