  "undergrad math" might be a better phrase to use; "basic" and "advanced" mean very different things to people with different backgrounds

    As elsewhere in the thread, I'd advocate for "basic higher mathematics" or "introductory higher mathematics" (which would make clear that it's for people actively studying math as a subject and not as a standard part of primary or secondary education, or a prerequisite in an engineering major or something). The author says that this is largely aimed at high school students who are doing self-study, which is a realistic audience but not a context where a lot of people would naturally apply the word "basic". But this material is basic for mathematicians, I guess (although even a lot of mathematicians may not have quite as broad a knowledge of mathematics as the author does!).
