Thanks for the detailed reply.

This largely makes sense to me. Stuff like jump discontinuities I've only seen as an exercise for calculus classes.

Sad to see Taylor series go but that is kind of a dangling topic in an intro class and could be picked up later when there is a need for it.

Removing Taylor series was a tough call. It's one of my favorite calculus topics topics. Something had to give. However, those topics will still serve as prerequisite material for courses that explicitly need them.
