Quantitative prerequisites for SECOND year QES courses

- Mousover any course name pops up the course name and description.
- EOSC, ENVR and ATSC course names (eg EOSC211) are links to the EOAS Department's Course webpage.
- ssc and exp links open in a separate tab.
- For convenience, make that tab a separate window and place it side-by-side with the visual map, or place it on a separate monitor.
