I am attempting to find equivalent courses in the UK to courses I will be taking in a U.S. university.?
My problem is that I get confused with the different names and, I don't know enough about each subject to determine if whatever they are talking about in the syllabus is relavent.
For example, I know in the UK Analysis is just Calculus, but in the U.S. Analysis is its own set of courses post Multi. Var.
Does anyone know an easy way to find equivalent courses and what would be considered Analysis in the UK?

'Analysis' and 'calculus' are related but different concepts, and I'm pretty sure that's the case on both sides of the pond. To put it in simple terms, calculus is the 'basic' or elementary level, analysis the more advanced and evolved level. Therefore a course entitled 'analysis' is likely to either include calculus within it (probably in the first term), or it may assume that the students are already familiar with it, but either way it will then go much beyond calculus. Conversely, a course entitled 'calculus' is a more basic one and likely to contain few if any of the more advanced concepts and techniques from the wider field of analysis.
