Context

This course has been delivered by me at CNAM (Centre National des Arts & Métiers) in Paris, France, in November & December 2010.

The slides are slightly different from those shown during the class, to make them a bit more suitable for the web. I also fixed a few slides after receiving feedback during the course.

Pictures taken during the course are available here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/elefevre/sets/72157625388834349/
