MIT is one of the only schools that teaches differential and integral calculus in one semester and multivariable in the second. The vast vast majority of colleges teach it as Calculus I (differential), Calculus II (integral), and Calculus III (multivariable and vector). The quarter system often works like this: Calculus I (differential), Calculus II (integral), Calculus III (multivariable differential), and Calculus IV (multivariable integral) with vectors and/or sequences and series thrown into either III or IV.
