You have never set foot on a college campus, have you?
Quantum mechanics was never mentioned in any university-level math class I took. Quantum mechanics was a core concept in all the university-level physics courses I took.

Yes I have. I also know what kind of idiots teach on college campuses.
Math is not a university or any course. Science is not a university or any course. Quantum mechanics is not physics.
Math is a closed functional system, defined by its axioms and NOTHING ELSE.
Science is a set of falsifiable theories.
Physics is the study of nature, matter, and energy.
Quantum mechanics is not matter, or energy. It is theories about what matter and energy are made up of. It's most visible contribution to science is the construction of the periodic table of the elements that we use today in physics and chemistry.
No one has ever seen a quark. We have seen effects of them, and are currently building a table of quarks similar to the table of the elements.
No one has ever seen any lepton. We have only seen the effects of them. The most well known lepton, of course, is the electron.
No one has ever seen a boson. We have only seen the effects of them. It is simply theorized that there are such particles, and we have given them names.
An example on a larger scale is the simple naming of hydrogen. That is not science. That is simply naming something, like naming a species of animal a dog.
Even the current model of the atom is subject to change, if the theory constructing it turns out to be falsified.
NO theory is ever proven True, not even theories of science. Science is an open functional systems. There are no proofs, and prediction is not possible. Theories of science explain, they do not predict. They MUST be transcribed into a closed functional system, such as mathematics, to gain the power of prediction. That translation results in an equation, also known as a 'law'.
QUOTE=Into the Night;4183777] [Quantum mechanics] is not a branch of physics!
I will say it again, right here, just to be clear. It has more to do with mathematics and modeling than anything else. It is considered it's own branch of science. it is not part of physics.[/QUOTE]
