For me, most of what I heard called "maths" was at quite a bit higher
level. :-) When I spent a year studying at Cambridge University, what I
earned by passing the Mathematical Tripos was called a "Certificate of
Advanced Study in Applied Mathematics". When I applied to various
American grad schools, and later when I was applying for jobs, I always
had to explain what it meant. In the US, "Applied Mathematics" is not
normally understood to describe such things as general relativity and
relativistic quantum field theory. Also, Certificates are not normally
given out for graduate level work.
