Well, I don't just teach on the physics program, I also teach on the math program and on the math teacher program. Anyway, the physics program has meetings with all the people teaching on it to make sure that we teach things in the right order and so that the students always have the prerequisite knowledge they need.
It boggles me that multivariate calculus would be taught before linear algebra! Never mind the physics, that just doesn't make sense from a math standpoint. I mean, in multivariate calculus you need to multiply matrices, to calculate determinants, to find the equations of planes, etc.
