 Introduction to concurrency.
-*** Slides
+** Slides
 - Sequential vs. concurrent execution, I/O latency, interrupts, and cooperative vs. preemptive scheduling
 - Concurrency vs. parallelism, processes vs. threads, and language runtimes (C, JavaScript event loop, Go scheduler)
 - Shared memory synchronization vs. message passing, backpressure, and distributed data races
-*** Examples
+** Examples
 - temperatures: concurrent HTTP requests fetching city temperatures from OpenWeatherMap.
 - mutex: data race demonstration and mutual exclusion on a shared bank account balance (~go run -race ./main.go~).
 - csp: pipeline of goroutines and channels reading a CSV of zip codes, querying weather data with a concurrency limiter, and displaying a live top-ten leaderboard.
-To run the examples:
