I dislike calculus/analysis. Can I still get to do research in math?

Number theory is so much more fun than analysis! That said, have you tried taking a more theoretical approach to calculus? Take a look at the following two (freshman level) courses at MIT:

1. 18.014 Calculus with Theory - http://ocw.mit.edu/courses/mathematics/18-014-calculus-with-theory-fall-2010/

2. 18.024 Multivariable Calculus with Theory - http://ocw.mit.edu/courses/mathematics/18-024-multivariable-calculus-with-theory-spring-2011/

While this doesn’t directly answer your question, it might help analysis seem a little more bearable.
