Course prerequisites

[MaximKat]

How does this stuff work? I mean, I'm an international student and titles and content of classes that I had differs from what I have seen in schedules here. E.g. I had a course A and my university has courses B and C, but A covers half of topics from B and half from C and, moreover, is called differently from both B and C. Now, if I want to take a class which has B as a prereq, what will happen?

I would suggest talking to (or emailing) the professor teaching the course you want to take and describe the coursework you have taken and ask about your preparedness. I've generally found professors to very accommodating in this regard. Even if you don't have all of the prerequisite knowledge already, you still have a couple of months and professors will generally have no problems letting you in the course if you feel prepared.
