Pretty Structures 2011
This workshop is a collection of mathematically entertaining short
courses, 2 to 3 hours each, aimed at discrete mathematically versed
"street people", beginning graduate students in computational
mathematics and so on.
It took place during the week 2nd to 6th may 2011 in the historic
Hermite amphitheatre at the Institut Henri Poincare (IHP --- which has
an excellent library, by the way), in the center of Paris.
