Integer Overflow: Harvard CS is growing and so are our course numbers! To avoid reuse of numbers for courses that change over time, 3-digit COMPSCI numbers are changing to 4-digit COMPSCI numbers for Fall 2024 onward. (1-digit and 2-digit COMPSCI numbers are unchanged.) To most 3-digit COMPSCI numbers, we have simply appended a 0, but a few courses have changed otherwise, per this mapping. For some time, it should still be possible to search https://my.harvard.edu/ by courses' old numbers.
