    What exactly is advanced calculus? Abstract algebra, functional analysis or something else?

      Nothing. It’s a meaningless term. Some people use it to say “hard calculus” (multivariate, pdes, etc) and I suspect that’s how it’s being used here but, historically, it has mostly been used to refer to the introduction to real analysis courses found in books spike Spivak and Apostol.

      Probably infinite series? Maybe differential equations, but I guess that’s usually its own subject.
