A bit about me: I'm basically entering life science I next year, have a sister entering chemical biology second year, and reading the Faculty of Science Level II Program Options, I basically hit a hurdle after having selected my classes early this past week, and realizing that on the Admission Notes for some of the programs, it basically mentions that Physics 1BB3 and Math 1BO3 are "strongly recommended".
So my first question to you: Are those two courses truly useful or is this booklet pulling my leg? (they are not required)
Secondly, after reading about Math 1AA3, I've come up with the impression that Math 1BO3 and Inquiry are easy first year courses... but reading about Math 1AA3, the contrary.
I am aware that it is referred to as killer calculus, but I'd like to know some more of your personal experiences with the course and whether or not it is a useful first year course to have, I am thinking of minoring in math in which case I'd be stuck with it.
For now though, my immediate problem is whether to take:
a) Math 1AA3 and Math 1B03 (no Inquiry)
b) Math 1AA3 and Inquiry (no Math 1B03)
c) Math 1B03 and Inquiry (no Calc II)
or
d) Math 1B03 and Physics 1BA3 (no Inquiry, no Calc II)
I don't have a preference, currently, it's option B, likely changing it to c) but I need some advice.
Thank you internet

I'll also be looking forward to seeing some of you at welcome week
