Yeah, that would be amazing. I have a friend of mine who has a PhD in math, but has never learned any physics. Nevertheless, he was able to pick up some pretty advanced physics topics in a few weeks, to everyone's amazement.
On the other hand, perhaps the "math for physics" needs a different emphasis than general math-for-the-sake-of-math. E.g. perhaps for mathematicians certain topics are covered without much detail as they are relatively uninteresting, but a math-for-physics course would put extra emphasis on them because of some applications. Don't know enough to give concrete examples.
