Recent Pomona College alum here checking in to say that the course numbering system has not changed (though Math 103 is now Intro to Combinatorics), and anecdotally it's still a point of confusion for those who go on to the grad schools the Colleges feed into.

I've never before paid course numbers too much mind, but it does surprise me there's not yet some widespread standard of to help graduate admissions officers, graduate advisors, and grad students themselves when determining prerequisite eligibilty.

Yeah, I was looking for the class to see what the number was and it doesn't appear to exist anymore. I remember being amused that at Mudd, Calculus as Math 1a/b back in my day. It appears to have been renumbered a bit higher since then and now they only offer one semester of calculus (back in the 80s it was radical that Mudd did the Calculus sequence in two rather than three semesters, although I noticed that our local high school offers a third-year high school calculus class covering multivariable calculus).
