Yes, they're the same thing. Here's a link to this particular question, but ochef.com is great for any cooking-related questions you may have. I've also found info on flour and the different kinds of sugar here.

Do you mean thick cream? Heavy cream is whipping cream. I've never seen anything in the store listed as thick cream, is that something listed in a recipe?

Yes ... it is listed in the recipe for strawberry cream cake filling.

Here's more info, courtesy of ochef.com

Heavy cream, also called heavy whipping cream, has a fat content of between 36% and 40%. Light cream has between 18% and 30% butterfat (but generally on the low end of the scale), and light whipping cream has between 30% and 36% fat. If you find a carton in the store labeled whipping cream, it is bound to be light whipping cream. Many, many supermarkets carry heavy cream, but perhaps you should ask the manager at yours if it is available. We doubt that substituting whipping cream for heavy cream will seriously compromise whatever youre cooking, if you must make the substitution.
