Master’s Degree in Computer Science. The Bachelor ofScience in Computer Science program was one of the first Bachelor of Science programsimplemented at UVU in 1993. The program’s goal has been to provide a quality program thatmeets accreditation standards while providing the students with a skill set that allows them tosucceed in computing careers. The curriculum content for the Computer Science degree is basedon the 2001 ACM Curriculum Report. The Computer Science degree at UVU was accredited byAccreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) in 2002 and currently has morethan 1,200 students. Students in this program take core courses until the first semester of theirjunior year, when they begin choosing their electives for different

Introduction to ODEs Differential equations are used to model a wide range of physical processes; technology students will use them in chemistry, biophysics, mechanics, thermodynamics, electronics, and almost every other scientific and engineering discipline. An ODE is used to express the rate of change of one quantity with respect to another. One defining characteristic of an ODE is that its derivatives are a function of one independent variable.
