<p>Ma1a is most certainly not a typical college-level calculus class… its focus on proofs and analytical math is not found in any other standard required college calc class. Yes, it’s offered as an option at places like MIT (where it is called “Calculus with Theory”) but is by no means the standard.</p>
<p>Of course, your response will be that because versions of it are offered at other places, it is “standard”, but this is misleading. At no other institution (that I’m aware of) is calculus of such a theoretical nature required for students outside of math and related majors.</p>
