Math 1A03 vs Math 1LS3 - MacInsiders - Student-run McMaster University Help Forum

07-13-2011 at 01:49 AM

Ok, so I know this question has been repeated so many times, but I'm still unsure of what to choose, I know 1LS3 is easier than 1A03 but isn't it a bit more boring? As in I like math, counting I got a 97 in grade 12 calc. Would it be a waste to take the easier way out and go with 1LS3, or should I go with 1A03 =/. Oh, I have the typical life sci schedule as my time table

If you got a 97 in math, you will ace Math 1A03. 1LS3 is a waste of time.

I'm personally going for 1LS3 'cause I want it to be the one easy course that doesn't require too much effort but I would suggest that you take 1A03 if you can cope, which you probably will be able to

But if you don't want to do math (and you're not interested in a second year program that requires it), I'd suggest 1LS3. It requires no effort. And if you get a 10 in it, it counts as an equivalent credit in 1A03.
1LS3 may be a waste of time, but that might be exactly what you want as it would require no effort to get a 12 in.

So if you know this has been asked so many times, why did you make one more thread about it?
Do you think the responses here are going to be any different?

97 in calc, but no common sense, thats a shame

sounds like a health science student. hehehaha

We should make a forum, where all the Math 1AO3 vs 1LS3 posts are found...

Just... pick... one... it's not going to change your life if you take one or the other. If you just want the math credit, take 1LS. If you like math, and are thinking of doing upper year stuff, take 1A03.
