Teaching Staff in Charge	Prof. MARCUS Andrei, Ph.D., marcus@math.ubbcluj.ro	
Aims	To complete a significant (C# or Java, or by using the programming facilities in GAP) program, 
going through all programming activities 
(specification, design, coding, verification of these activities, validation, and documetation) 
To elaborate a clear and complete documentation, and to respect the schedule of a project.
The program will be used to investigate polynomials over finite fields.	
Content	1. Each student must construct a software product, going through all steps of the project: specification, design, 
coding, verification for each step (inspection, testing).
2. Writing a documentation for each step.
3. Writing a documentation for possible users.

Assessment	A mark is given for each step of the project. The final mark is the avvrage of these marks. The schedule of the project must be respected, 
otherwise one point penalization is given for each weak of being late.
