advanced if the number suffix is larger

The first number usually means the level... a 100 level course would be freshman/sophomore. A 200 level course is usually junior, and a 300 level is senior. The number following the first number is probably just a chronological thing.

It stands for the year of a student that the course is most specifically aimed toward. For example, physics 205 would be a sophomore class, physics 305 a junior class, etc.
Most students can take most classes, but at the college I teach there are some 300 and 400-level courses freshmen are not allowed to enroll in and vice versa - 100-level courses seniors are not allowed to enroll in.
Hope that helps

At the University of Missouri, at least, it means what class standing it's intended for. 1000 is for freshmen, 2000 for sophomores, etc. anything higher than 4000 is a grad level class. Sometimes, you will be restricted from enrolling if you aren't in the right grade class. Some 4000 level classes are closed to freshmen, etc.

Usually:
100-199 freshman
200-299 sophomore
300-399 junior
400-499 senior
500+ graduate
But I've also seen:
001-099 freshman & sophomore
100-199 junior & senior
200-299 grad students & undergrads with honors
300-399 grad students only

Generally, you will find 1-4 meaning freshman through Senior. 100 level classes are definitely begining courses!!! 200, some freshman can get into. By 300 level they have strict and useful prereq's!!

The number represents the class number not the number of students or the cost. The number can signify a higher level of prequisites.

i don't know if this is the case everywhere, but at the school I was attending, it specifies the level of the class. anything in the 100-300 level was considered lower division, anything above 300 was considered upper division.
Lower division courses were more prepatory courses for the upper division courses.
