,, additionally, moving limits to the end of a first-year course allows students to develop intuitions around the derivative first before seeing the formal proof of their validity’’

Waiting a year to get from intuition to theorems is a perfect way to ruin math.

Math is not supposed to be easy/simple, but it supposed to be a great way to understand systems based thinking.

At the same time there could be more examples taught on why these building blocks were historically needed and what they are used for solving nowadays.
