What do the symbols d/dx and dy/dx mean?
Okay this may sound stupid but I need a little help... What do $Large frac {d} {dx}$ and $Large frac {dy} {dx}$ mean? I need a thorough explanation. Thanks.

Well, $delta x$ means different things depending on the context. For example, it has a particular meaning in variational calculus, and a completely different one in functional
A "signed definite integral" for computing work and other "net change" calculations. The value of an expression such as $int_0^1 x^2,dx$ comes out the same under all these interpretations,
I just finished taking my first year of calculus in college and I passed with an A. I don''t think, however, that I ever really understood the entire $frac{dy}{dx}$ notation (so I just focused on
I''m taking differential equations right now, and the lack of fundamental knowledge in calculus is kicking my butt. In class, my professor has done several implicit differentiations. I
I know dy/dx for example means "derivative of y with respect to x," but there''s another context that confuses me. You will generally just see a dx term sitting at the end of an integral equation an...
The symbol used for integration, $int$, is in fact just a stylized "S" for "sum"; The classical definition of the definite integral is $int_a^b f (x) dx = lim_ {Delta x to 0} sum_ {x=a}^ {b} f
I understand the meaning of $frac {dy} {dx}$ and $int f (x)dx$, but outside of that what do $dy, du, dx$ etc.. mean? When I took calc I, derivatives and integrals were given a
I am working on trying to solve this problem: Prove: $int sin^n{x} dx = -frac{1}{n} cos{x} cdot sin^{n - 1}{x} + frac{n - 1}{n} int sin^{n - 2}{x
