Has anyone here taken an operating systems class?

The class is not about how to use Windows or Linux. It is about the code these operating systems use to do what they do, including managing system memory and security.

I'm likely not going to be an actuary but am just wondering if I should take it.

I need to take an extra graduate level class to qualify for financial aid, and the classes I want to take (algorithms, artificial intelligence, graphics) are full or have time conflicts with each other. I don't have to take OS, but it would count towards the 30 units I must take to graduate. Math classes don't count towards the 30, but there are a few that sound fun. Several math professors want me to take numerical partial differential equations with Matlab.

Thanks.



My current schedule is Programming Languages, Theory of Computation (both undergraduate and not counting for aid), and Object Oriented Programming Patterns (graduate level).
