Real prerequisite
What follows is assumed and will not be explained again. If most of it is foreign to you, this is not the right entry point — better to know now than at the final assessment.
No technical prerequisite. You need to use a computer day to day and be willing to revisit upper-secondary mathematics: programming is taught here, logical reasoning is consolidated.
