Content (Syllabus outline)

The course is intended for introducing students to topics which are interesting due to recent theoretical findings, methodological breakthroughs or for their applicative value, and are not included into the existing curriculum. The purpose of the course is to include visiting established experts, researchers and lecturers in the teaching process on FMF. The specific topic is determined yearly and depends on the specifics of the invited lecturer.

Readings

Temeljna literatura se predpiše vsako leto posebej glede na vsebino in predloge izbranega predavatelja.
Determined yearly, with respect to the current topic of the course.
