As a physicist, fluid mechanics was the most glaring gap in my undergraduate preparation, despite its centrality to most physics applications. Somehow it is always a “time permitting” topic at the end of an already-cramped curriculum. I first encountered the Euler equation in the context of GR — absurd. In another decade or two, I suspect its rightful place early in the physics curriculum will be emphasized.
