    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 like Spivak and Apostol.
