minus-squarePhoenix3875@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·12 days agoI think rather d/dx is the operator. You apply it to an expression to bind free occurrences of x in that expression. For example, dx²/dx is best understood as d/dx (x²). The notation would be clear if you implement calculus in a program.
