Lecture notes from course F000802A covering the fundamentals of Big Data at Universiteit Gent. Sessions cover introduction to Big Data (the Four V's: volume, variety, velocity, veracity), CAP theorem, MapReduce framework, and practical data manipulation using PySpark including joins, data structures, and the CRISP-DM process. Well-organized notes with clear explanations of distributed computing concepts and real-world examples (Facebook, cluster computing) - ideal for understanding core Big Data principles and preparing for exams.
