Depends, have to consider the different factors. Pros and cons for both.

On one hand, uni H3s end earlier, in about may, so you're free to focus on your other subjects after that. But uni H3s this year are at hwa chong, so students from other JCs have to factor in travel time (MOE H3s will be held in your own JC I think). Also, uni H3s have two lessons a week (because they only have 5 months to finish the syllabus), where MOE H3 has one lesson a week.

But MOE H3 will last all the way until the end of A-levels, which can be very tiring. On the other hand, final exams for uni H3s might class with sports seasons for some students. So yeah, must consider all these factors, plus which has H3s that suit you better.
Tks bittersweet for the info. Ntu h3 modules will be held at hci but nus h3 modules will be held at nus. Hv you decided which h3 to apply?

H3 subjects are mainly for interest.
That said, I'll chip in with my two cents.

Mathematics is an important foundation for many courses in University, as well as graduate studies (should you decide to do it). Some of the most lucrative jobs out there are known as Quants (Quantitative finance, Quantitative traders, Algorithmic traders, High frequency Traders). These jobs require no less than a PhD in the mathematical arena (i.e. Computer Science, Math, Engineering, etc). They are also highly competitive (i.e. Jump Trading, Jane Street, GETCO typically hires MIT/Stanford/CMU graduates only).

H3 Maths would be useful for Math related courses in University, including Engineering, Physics, Computer Science.

Some Math related careers here: https://www.math.ucdavis.edu/~kouba/MathJobs.html

Linear Algebra I in NUS is a really interesting course, student will learn how to do Math "proofs", and also learn cool-sounding concepts like "eigenvalues".

You are welcome.

Linear Algebra I (NUS) will also help improve concepts in the normal H2 maths. Students will gain a deeper understanding about vectors, dot product, cross product, lines and planes, all of which are part of the H2 syllabus.
