This is OT, but... Course numbering varies by college/university, but I think typically 1xx, 2xx, 3xx, and 4xx are aimed at students in years 1, 2, 3, and 4 majoring in that subject. Pre-100 courses would be remedial or aimed or even limited to non-major students. So a Math department might have 023 Business Math that would not count toward the math units needed to get a BS in math. tjr -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
