This seminar examines a wide range of French and Francophone responses to fundamentalism (of all kinds). Our corpus includes novels, essays, films, and graphic novels from North Africa, Iran, Afghanistan, and France, with occasional comparative readings from different contexts. We begin by considering the rise of Islamism in Algeria during the last decades of the 20th century and the diverse ways in which authors and filmmakers have responded. We then turn to examine French debates over the place of Islam in the secular nation.

An overview of systems neuroscience, with special emphasis on cognition, including perception, recognition, attention, and motor control. Includes both theoretical and lab components covering neuroanatomy, neurohistology, brain imaging, and behavioral analysis.

Cryptographic algorithms are the "engine" that drive virtually every security solution, from email encryption to biometric passports. This course will start with a review of the most important symmetric and public-key crypto algorithm. The focus on the course will then be on the efficient implementation and the secure implementation of cryptographic algorithms. Both pose considerable challenges. We will treat topics such as efficient arithmetic with very long numbers and side-channel attacks.
