Summary |
---|
The course introduces students to the basic principles, the subject of study and methods of system analysis and its applications in geosciences. Practically acquired skills allow them to analyse geosystems and use it in finding solutions to various problems. |
Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit |
---|
The aim of the subject is to acquaint students with the basic principles being studied and methods of system analysis and its applications in geosciences. Practically acquired skills they can use to perform analysis geosystems and use it in finding the right solutions. |
