Type systems

Didier Rémy

Year 2012-2013

This is the location for the course material for the first 7 lessons of the course 2-4 of the MPRI.
The other lessons are taught by
Yann Régis-Gianas, Giuseppe Castagna, and Xavier Leroy.
The programming task will be organized with also the help of
François Pottier.

Note

This course was taught in 2011 and 2010, which was itself a reorganization of the course of the same name that was taught the previous years. You may find the old course notes of François Pottier on type systems, or my previous course notes on modularity.

The lessons will take place on Tuesday at Chevaleret, in room 1E01 from 9:15 to 11:45
