This is the website for the NASSP Masters Fundamentals of Radio Interferometry course. The course is based on the ipython-based book of the same name. This site will be updated regularly.

A selection of presentations from previous years are available for download here, some of which has accompanying video files and can be streamed directly from YouTube
