The classical physics/Calculus tracks have to continue or bridges will start falling down much more frequently. When I took the sequence 90% of the students were from the engineering school (90% of those that completed the sequence anyhow).
That's also why quantum physics will continue to be taught. It has real industrial applications.
Relativism only takes you so far.
Amen!
Newton gave us the industrial revolution. Einstein explained how light bends in a gravity lens.
Both systems are interesting, but only one has any practical application in the real world. This poor slob who payed his own way through an engineering degree is glad that all of his limited time and money were applied toward something that would put meat on the table rather than something that tickles the fancy of an erudite prof.
