I didn't see any reviews for math 1lt3, so I was wondering if anyone could tell me what they thought of the course? I appreciate the help.

I've taken LS3 already, got an A+ (thats what it says on the degree audit, I'm assuming thats a 12). Would taking AA3 be a bad idea if I've only done LS3? I don't want to screw myself.
So for now, I've added 1LT3 to my course load, but I have a conflict between a core for a course (only one available) and a math tutorial. I realize it's different from person to person, but would it be fine if I missed the tutorials, as long as I'm doing questions on my own?

Hey! I really liked the course. Erin Clements who taught it last year is one of my favourite professors at Mac.

You will absolutely not screw yourself if you take 1AA3...all first year math courses generally learn the same thing (they are antirequisites because of that). So 1LS3 will have prepared you just fine...you just may need to catch up a bit at the beginning--but that is it.

If you are interested in going into math next year, or taking any more math courses I'd say 1AA3. They do series and sequences...in LT3 you don't.

However, that's not to say you can't take higher year courses with LT3. I was in Lifesci last year and decided to go into math this year and LT3 prepared me very well (some of the stuff we did last year we also learned this year that the 1AA3/1XX3 classes didn't do).

I took 1LS3 and then 1AA3 the following summer, and it was fine. There were some definite gaps in what was taught, but it wasn't too difficult to catch up and I ended up with the same mark in 1AA3 as I got in 1LS3.

There might be some stuff covered in 1LT3 that wasn't covered on 1AA3 or 1XX3 (probably the easiest topics), but there is a lot more stuff covered 1AA3/1XX3 that wasn't covered in 1LT3.

I took LT3. Me and my 3 friends in the course all did really well. The material isn't too difficult. I recommend just staying on top of your notes otherwise it can be a little overwhelming if you are trying to cram the day before a midterm. All-in-all, easy class that requires a little effort.

Just out of curiosity, who was your prof for Math 1LS3? I had Lovric, and he made the course pretty enjoyable. How does LT3 compare to LS3?

I am in the same boat as the OP - I took 1LS3.

Now I am registered in 1B03 but I am wondering if perhaps I should take 1LT3 instead as my "math-y" elective. To those who have taken both, which would you recommend? Or even if you've just taken one or the other, I'd still enjoy your feedback.

I had Lovric followed by Clements. I also took AP Calc in high school so I found LS3 very simple and LT3 to me was just slightly harder material than LS3. You do a little bit of multivariable calc and volume integrals etc... I like to think of it as a 1A03/1AA3 hybrid. The pace of Clements in LT3 is a little slow imo. As a professor Clements is really kind and fun. You can always approach her with questions and she just has a good personality. Her tests aren't too difficult, again just do the assignments and you should be okay.

I'd like the answer to this too. If anyone has done both 1B03 and 1LT3 which would you recommend? I'm in 1B03 right now....

Depends on what you are interested. If you want an intro to linear algebra then take that...if you want to continue on calc then do that.

I got the same mark in both....but I personally liked lt3 better.

EDIT: If you want to continue on with upper year math...pretty sure you need both.
