101
adjective
- basic, elementary knowledge; basic knowledge offered in course form
(Dictionary.com)
---
The term 101 (pronounced one-oh-one) stems from the course numbering system that many colleges in the U.S. rely on. The system uses a three-digit code to classify courses by level, subject area and class sequence.
The first digit in the code is the level, which typically refers to the year. For instance, freshman (first year) classes are assigned a 1, sophomore (second year) classes a 2, etc. So a freshman taking an introductory course in college algebra might sign up for Algebra 101 in the first semester and Algebra 102 in the second semester.
Some colleges use the second digit to indicate a specific area. As an example, if Physics 101 is the introductory course, Physics 121 might cover the basics in quantum physics.
