Why would that raise any eyebrows? First day in Physics 101 was spent
teaching students how to do integral calculus with definite integrals in
order to permit teaching the equations of motion. Definite integral
calculus was a topic by the way, that wasn't covered in Calculus 101 (a co-
requisite with Physics 101) until the final week of the semester.

Ouch, I think.


Why virtually every engineering curriculum I'm aware of teaches
subject-specific math classes outside the mathematics
department...several departments went so far at my undergraduate uni as
to remove the four-semester calculus/analytic geometry course sequence
from their curriculum in favor of doing it themselves in order to at
least coordinate the subjects taught and sequence in order to provide
the necessary background in time...

That makes sense.
