Course Overview
This course introduces the major concepts of calculus: differentiation, integration, and differential equations as applied to computing. The course covers both single and multivariable differentiation for basic functions and some basic single variable integration, both definite and indefinite. It will finish with a short introduction to differential equations applied to modeling physical phenomena.
Prerequisite(s)
- Acceptance into the Bachelor of Science in Applied Computer Science (BscACS) program.
