Why there is there an emphasis on analysis courses in undergrad progams?

In undergraduate maths study, there are three main areas: analysis, algebra, and geometry. (There are of course other small topics as well, but they don't have to be learnt by every student.)

I have discovered that, in most standard undergraduate curriculumscurricula, there are more analysis topics than modern algebra topics. (Many words can be put before "analysis", including "real", "complex", "functional", "harmonic", etc.) Geometry, on the other hand, only forms a very small portion of the courses taken.

Why this is the case? Why is analysis more "important" than algebra or anything else?
