Mathematics for Cognitive Science 2-IKVa-102
Contents
The lectures will provide students with basics of propositional and predicate logic, linear algebra, mathematical analysis, and probability that are important for the study of informatics and its role in (computational) cognitive science. At the same time, students will learn about mathematical culture, notation, way of thinking and expressing oneself.

| 04.10. | 1. Find (google) DE MORGAN’S LAWS. What does these laws represent? How can we prove them?
2. Help developers: The problem of REPEATING TASKS Repeating task is a task created from its parent task every few (n) days. Repeating rules have the next parameters: + Date of the last repeat + Maximum number of repeats + Number of days for repeat (n) (“repeat task every 5 days”) + Number of already repeated tasks (how many times had been task already repeated)
