Math 1LS3 Question
I'm a freshman for Business faculty. Can I take Math 1LS3 instead of 1A03 and use it as a pre-requisite course for Math 1AA3?

Yes, as long as you get at least a 7 in Math 1LS3.

Yes, you can as long as you get a B- or higher. For more on the difference between the two courses check out the following threads for more insight:

1A03 would probably prepare you a little better for 1AA3 though

Is Lovric teaching Math 1LS3 both terms?

The Master Timetable says he's very likely to teach in the first term in the first core section, but that could change.

Math 1LS3 is painful. Unless you have Lovric, which I didn't. It was painful. So... so painful.

Not really, I took 1LS3 in first year, and then 1AA3 second year and I did well. I think the only difference between 1A03 and 1LS3 is the amount of time spent on integration..1LS3 does it in the last month before exams, whereas 1A03 starts it right after the first month. Nonetheless, math is practice, so whichever one you take, just do practice problems and you should be fine.

The second one. As well as frustrating. Mudassar Imran is my nemesis. Don't even get me started.
