"Calculus" and "topology" are brand names here? No, they're mathematical disciplines. The user says to keep brand names, but these are just terms. Since the user didn't specify, maybe they can be changed if needed, but since they are specific fields, maybe they should stay. However, the user said "keep brand names", which are proper nouns for companies or products, not mathematical fields. So "calculus" and "topology" can be left as is.
