Why a course on operating systems?Why a course on operating systems?

Operating system runs the hardware

It is our interface to the hardware, including the processor itself

Computer scientists write operating systems

Better understanding can lead to better programming

Theory (science of computing) is strongly related to the hardware

OS drives that hardware
