Having two math courses covering the same information means both courses move slower, and although you have to write two exams, you have more lecture time during the year thereby making it far easier.
Last year, for 1ZZ5 the students had 4 real lectures per week where they learned new material. You guys have 2x3 = 6 lectures per week. That means you have an extra two hours per week to learn the same amount of material. 13 weeks in the term means 26 extra hours of class. And in your own words, everything is the same except the names right? So you don't learn anything extra in the 26 hours of class. Last year and every year prior to this one, the engineers had their math course move far faster than yours because they didn't have an extra 26 hours to **** around with.

Actually I don't care because I know pretty much at least 90% of the math in 1zb3+1zc3. So I'll speak for other eng 1st year...
Math SINGLE VARIABLE is easy as taking a walk in park. It doesn't take much dedication to it.
I am taking 7 courses so don't bring me that crap of not having time. (micro doesn't count so its 6)
And it's like you said, we have 6 lectures per week they had 4.... And we learn material at same time.
We do some single variable and multi at same time not really coherent. While in 1zz5, they had a good slow progress but we get two different things at once .
That's the course outline for 1aa3.
"For students in science: additional techniques of integration, applications of definite integrals, differential equations, polar coordinates, parametrized curves. Sequences, infinite series, power series. Partial derivatives. "
Umm, 1Zc3 : (integration part is in 1Zb3 with parametrized curves, sequences and series were in 1za3)
"Partial derivatives, multiple integrals, complex numbers, vector spaces, systems of linear equations, matrices, determinants, introduction to mathematical software."
And for some reason we are doing multiple integrals and single variable integrals at the same time... I guess that's engineering studies....
