Hi Mike,

411 is the number one dials in North America to reach directory 
assistance (getting telephone numbers). So, it has a slang usage 
meaning something like information. Introductory university course in 
a field are often numbered 101 (i.e. Computer Science 101). So, that 
number has acquired a slang meaning of basic and introductory information.

Where I did my undergrad studies, a few Departments had 001 classes. 
Somehow that felt more honest ;-)

Best to all,
