      The goal Introducing students with basic concepts of symbolic-numeric computation related to the system of polynomial equations and pseudo-inverse matrices with application in electrical engineering and computer science.
      The outcome Students are able to apply algorithms of symbolic algebra based on Groebner basis of polynomial ideals and theory of pseudo-inverse matrices.
      Contents
      Contents of lectures General problem of symbolic-numeric computation in mathematics. Computer algebra systems and solving systems of polynomial equations.Groebner basis and Buchberger’s algorithm. Applications of Groebner’s bases on the solvability of system, computer graphics and robotics. Theory of pseudo-inverses matrices. See theoretical contents at http://simba.etf.rs/
      Contents of exercises Through examples, tasks and problems student learns how to apply theorems and basic concepts that are learnt through theoretical contents. Especially students are prepared how to solve problems that are occurring in computer science and technique.
