I am new to calculus and during my mathematics class my sir defined dxdt as dx/dt=limt→t1f(t)−f(t1)t−t1
dxdt is not a fraction it only behaves like a fraction!
(it means dxdt is just a notation to represent that big limit!) and he made a statement that
dx or dt does not have any meaning it is just ddt(x) which has meaning but we treat it as dxdt.
but at same time my physics sir, to derive velocity he stated
let the particle be at position x at time t and after an infinitesimal change in position and time it reaches x+dx at time t+dt. Now velocity is displacementtime , so we will get v=dxdt
and this expression purely tells that dxdt is a fraction!
Now i don't know who is correct, so please help!
