Applied number theory: study cryptology, coding theory, quasi-Monte Carlo methods and pseudo-random number generators

Automated reasoning: learn the basics of mathematical logic, automatic reasoning, SAT solvings, and multivalent logic (i.e. Fuzzy Logic)

Hands-on computer science and software development: learn about object-oriented programming and tools to manage projects and verify formal software
