How is the math major here?
We were taught by Remzi (the author behind OSTEP). He was one of the best professors I have met at UW madison. Unfortunate that I had to drop though. Some of the projects we did were open source btw https://github.com/remzi-arpacidusseau/ostep-projects

I am getting an undefined reference despite including the source file when compiling
So, run-tests.sh is being run and the source could be found here

How to get started with learning Operating Systems?
The intro says they have projects throughout the book. This is the git they listed for them https://github.com/remzi-arpacidusseau/ostep-projects
- Xv6, a simple Unix-like teaching operating system

MIT 6.S081 – Operating System Engineering
OSTEP by Remzi and Andrea Arpaci-Dusseau is a great read for anybody interested in operating systems (https://github.com/remzi-arpacidusseau/ostep-projects). The projects in their class at the University of Wisconsin-Madison were mainly making edits to the xv6 OS

What's the best way to learn Operating Systems for you?
But since you've already read a few OS books, I suggest you move on to actually peeking under the hood and playing around with the concepts. OSTEP has problems at the end of each chapter you can check out. You can also try to hack into a real "toy" operation, like xv6 - check out the problems here.

Xv6, a simple Unix-like teaching operating system
For those interested in a slightly more readable code and modern build system, shameless plug of my attempt at some xv6 modernization: https://github.com/NewbiZ/xv6
