Study guid. – Vitebsk: Educational Establishment “VSU named after P.M. Masherov”, 2012. – 50 p.
This study guide is intended for self-organized work of the first-year students of the Mathematical Faculty taught with a specialization in “Applied Informatics”. Theoretical material is outlined; the examples of problems solution are presented. Problems for solving in practical classes and individual assignments are also attached.
