This course is about the basics of multithreading and concurrent programming with some parallel concepts. In the 21st century this topic is becoming more and more popular with the advent of Big Data and Machine Learning. We will consider the low level concepts such as threads,synchronization andlocks. The second chapter will be about concurrent library: of course there are built in classes and interfaces that we can use when implementing multithreaded applications. Then we develope little programs as show-cases for multithreading: the dining-philosopher problem or the students in library simulation. Last chapter is about parallel computing and MapReduce.
