That seems somewhat universal. I remember attending the first suggested university course on math and barely recognising what was written on the first page of the material. It turned out that the material was written well before the high school curriculum on math in my country was substantially dumbed down, and was not very accessible for recent high school graduates. Other universities provided more verbose study material, while mine was trying to make the material as concise as possible. For whatever reason, math seems to be the only field in which conciseness usually trumps readability.
I passed the course (Analysis I) with the minimum score by memorising previous exams and their answers, without understanding any of it, or ever needing the skills on my professional career.
Logic and algebra classes were a lot more approachable, enjoyable and eventually useful. I am looking forward to learn something from this material, too.
In many parts of Europe, they actually do: if you study maths or even something related like CS or physics, you'll basically see proofs from day one. The split between "calculus" (non-rigorous) and "analysis" (with proper proofs) seems to be mostly a US thing.
