> It is being taught by mathematicians. And as part of teaching it, they are attempting to instill a "mathematical mindset". I think this is a problem not just with calculus, but really with most math instruction. Math is taught by people who are already in love with the special insider world of math. To students who don’t share that love, it’s often unappealing at best - and exclusionary at worst. It weeds out people who don’t need to be weeded. When math is taught in a way that develops practical intuition, it is so much more useful and rewarding.
