- What does the dx mean in an integral? [duplicate]
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

These identities for $\int_0^1 x^ {-x}\ dx$ and $\int_0^1 x^x\ dx$ are sometimes called the "sophomore's dream" Look that up on Wikipedia
- What is $dx$ in integration? - Mathematics Stack Exchange
The symbol used for integration, $\int$, is in fact just a stylized "S" for "sum"; The classical definition of the definite integral is $\int_a^b f (x) dx = \lim_ {\Delta x \to 0} \sum_ {x=a}^ {b} f (x)\Delta x$; the limit of the Riemann sum of f (x) between a and b as the increment of X approaches zero (and thus the number of rectangles approaches infinity)
- What do the symbols d dx and dy dx mean? - Mathematics Stack Exchange
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
- calculus - What is the true, formal meaning and reason for the dx . . .
But then others told me that "dx" is part of what's being integrated, and they started saying that we're led to believe that its just a delimiter in early courses because it'd be impossible for teachers to introduce "differentials," which is what things like dx and du are, so u-substitution isn't just a mnemonic, and the multiplication is

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 realize that
- Meaning of dx, dy, du (u-substitution) - Mathematics Stack Exchange
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 definition, but these things were kind of skipped over
- What does $dx$ mean? - Mathematics Stack Exchange
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, of course In more general settings, the three interpretations generalize in different ways, so that the "dx" comes to mean different things
