  • Abstract
    We describe our approach in education of the course Digital and Analog Circuits, which belongs to curricula of the Informatics study program. For analysis of analog and simple digital circuits we use computer algebra system Mathematica, which minimizes the amount of routine, handy calculations. This fact enables focusing on the problem and solving more examples, which in turn provides better comprehension of the topic. As Mathematica is later used in subsequent courses, its knowledge is utilized in these courses. Last, but not least, Mathematica provides several programming paradigms, which can be easy demonstrated to students of Informatics study program.
