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.
