During the American Revolution, New Englanders dominated the American army and privateers, but New England's reputation as a military center rapidly declined thereafter. By 1820 Andrew Jackson was the chief military hero and Massachusetts began building the Bunker Hill Monument to remember the past glory. This course studies the origins, development, and decline of the New England settler military in frequent battle with Indian, French, Mexican, and British antagonists on land and sea.

In this course, students will learn the fundamentals behind large-scale systems in the context of data science. We will cover the issues involved in scaling up (to many processors) and out (to many nodes) parallelism in order to perform fast analyses on large datasets. These include locality and data representation, concurrency, distributed databases and systems, performance analysis and understanding. We will explore the details of existing and emerging data science platforms, including map-reduce and graph analytics systems like Hadoop and Apache Spark.
