    Differential geometry along with complex, real and functional analysis could perhaps be considered advanced calculus?

      I think anyone at the point of learning those subjects would just call them by their name. From my experience, “advanced calculus” usually refers to introduction to real analisys courses like Spivak or even Baby Rudin. It seems nowadays it’s being used to refer to multivariate and DEs, which I guess makes a little more sense but it still bothers me.
