For other subjects, you can briefly substitute an intuition for the underlying structures with sufficient finesse in the presentation of the material (see the theory of knots and links, for an example), but calculus is not, in my experience, such a subject, and the early emphasis on it is harmful for the study of mathematics, which is supposedly what your list is for.

For some reason this is heresy, but I have honestly no idea how you are supposed to appreciate calculus from a mathematical perspective without being able to define the large stack of terms that constitute it. The situation is potentially different for a physicist, but if you want to study mathematics, the physical world is not the object of study, rather it is precisely the definitions that we have chosen.
