Most college courses are identified by three to four numbers. For example, the first digit may indicate the class year, the middle two digits may identify the subject and the last digit may indicate the number of credit hours.
Course Numbers These numbers are the main way colleges organize their course catalog. No two courses at a college will share the exact same course number. The most useful thing for students to understand about these numbers is how to distinguish between upper-level credit and lower-level credit.
Courses numbered XSB1 to XSB199 are UCSB regular session undergraduate courses open for enrollment by students through UCSB Professional and Continuing Education. Courses numbered XSB1 to XSB99 are lower division (freshman/sophomore); those numbered XSB100 to XSB199 are upper division (junior/senior).
Typically, a course code includes a letter or number for each specific department; a letter or number for each specific subject (i.e., American history in the history/social studies department OR biology in the science department.)
Course Numbering System 1000 level. non–degree applicable. 1100 level. introductory course, open to all qualified students.
the level ofCourse Numbers. The four-digit numbering system is interpreted as follows: the first digit indicates the level of the course; the second digit is the number of credits available; the third and fourth digits are chosen by the department offering the course.
Students are limited to 5 units per quarter and 30 units total in all 98/99/198/199/199AA-ZZ courses combined. Writing 199 may be repeated for a maximum of 10 units.
The average course load for students in the College of Letters and Science is 15—17 units per quarter.
*The Enrollment Code is the five-digit number listed just below the course department and number in GOLD, not an approval code.
The course prefix is a three-letter disgnator for a major division of an academic discipline, subject matter area, or sub-category of knowledge. The prefix is not intended to identify the department in which a course is offered. Rather, the content of a course determines the assigned prefix used to identify the course.
History. The slang sense of the number "101" originates from its frequent use in US college course numbering systems to indicate the first or introductory course in some topic of study, such as "Calculus 101" or "French 101".
The five-digit section number denotes the day, time, location and instructor teaching the course. This five digit number and all pertinent information attached to a section number is set by the department of the course.
All courses numbered 491 and 492 (individual studies) and all Undergraduate Research 197 courses meet this requirement.
WI courses are indicated in the online schedule of courses. The course must be designated as WI in the semester in which it is taken in order to satisfy the requirement. Some sections of a particular course may be designated as WI while others are not; students should be aware of this fact when selecting courses for their schedule.
The course must be designated as SI in the semester in which it is taken in order to satisfy the requirement. Some sections of a particular course may be designated as SI while others are not; students should be aware of this fact when selecting courses for their schedule.
Internships (499) that have a final project/paper that is to be evaluated by the sponsoring faculty member will also meet this requirement.
If a student takes a non-laboratory science before taking a laboratory science, the Natural Science requirement will not be considered to have been met until the laboratory course has been completed .
Students electing to take a second course in the Natural Sciences as one of their Methods of Investigation requirements will choose from a list of approved courses that may include non -laboratory courses. If a student takes a non-laboratory science before taking a laboratory science, the Natural Science requirement will not be considered to have been met until the laboratory course has been completed.

Students will successfully locate and critically evaluate information using the Internet, library databases, and/or other digital tools. Students will use digital tools to safely, ethically, and effectively produce and exchange information and ideas. Students will creatively adapt to emerging and evolving technology.
Students will understand and be able to explain the conventions and expectations of oral communication as practiced within the discipline of the course taken.

Because this class is a seminar, I have higher expectations for your participation than might be the case for another class. We are a relatively small group, so there is a good chance for us to get to know each other.
Students should keep a journal collecting notes and reflecting on progress through the course. Each Friday, submit a journal entry responding to the ideas of that week. I recommend posting these as blog entries, but other methods are acceptable.
Topics include sets and logic, functions and relations, methods of mathematical proof including mathematical induction, and elementary counting techniques.
The history of mathematics begins with the early numbering systems and mathematics of the Egyptians and the Babylonians. The course then turns to the Greeks and their emphasis on logical deduction and geometry.
