I am curious why a curriculum in the US includes four courses on calculus. Why isn't this just part of maybe three analysis courses for undergraduate studies?

My university had quarters, not semesters, but:

1. Derivatives

2. Integrals

3. Applications — function approximation; solids of rotation; vectors; etc.

4. Multivariate — partial derivatives, multiple integrals, etc.

Glancing at a nearby community college’s course catalog, they have similar split.

Does this include the full machinery to prove the necessary theorems or are these basically practical courses?
