However, if you look in the undergraduate calender for the second year programs - (our year being the admission 2009-2010) they need 3 units of either 1A03, or 1LS3, so it actually doesn't matter what you take, since both work. And I was only suggested to take 1A03 if I wante to minor in math, since otherwise its not needed.
Hope that helps!! ^-^

Yep you're right, I should have been more clear in my other post. Here's my correction from another thread:
you only need to get a 10 or higher in Math 1LS3 if you want to apply for a program that
only accepts Math 1A03 (for example,
honours chemistry - you'll notice they only say Math 1A03 and not either or). A program like
honours biology takes either Math 1LS3 OR Math 1A03, so it doesn't matter what grade you get in 1LS3 (as long as you obtain the credit).
Sorry about the confusion.
The point is, check the undergraduate calendar for the second year program you're looking into. If they only accept 1A03, a 10 or higher in 1LS3 will do. If they ask for 1A03 OR 1LS3, the mark you get in 1LS3 won't matter (as long as you get the credit).
Sorry about the confusion (again)
