Course Overview
Operating Systems Theory examines the core concepts behind kernels, processes, memory, filesystems, concurrency, synchronization, scheduling, and security models. Learners study how operating systems manage hardware and software resources, coordinate execution, isolate users and programs, and provide structured services to applications.
