It’s a “business calculus” class, targeting life science and business majors primarily. The entire thing is structured oddly - they do L’Hôpital almost immediately after power rule/product/quotient rule, which seems like a recipe for disaster.
Yes, yes, yes, a thousand times yes! Imagine doing Fourier analysis without trig! (Complex exponentials are still trig, before anyone gets any ideas 😁)

Should/must a calculus course cover the derivative of sine and cosine/other trig functions? | Spyke
Calculus without the falling ladder problem? That's unusual. Yes, it's necessary. Engineers need trig, physicists need trig, mathematicians need trig.
