Classical methods in AI rely on symbolic reasoning based on logic and mathematics. On the one hand, a focus of this elective track is on deductive reasoning, including model checking and theorem proving, techniques which are also essential for software and hardware verification. On the other hand, students can focus on specialized mathematical topics in the fields of analysis, numerics, and statistics, which underpin modern AI technologies.
