"....I have no idea what "dx" stands for".

Neither do I.

My two pet peeves on FR - photographs of public or private people with no identification whatsoever, plus acronyms like the above "dx" that nobody recognizes.

“dx” is an acronym/abbreviation for “diagnosis” in MEDICAL field/terminology...

So of course, anyone who has not come across the term or is in a medical field will likely not know it :(

Benefit of doubt...folks using such terms forget that we are not all medical professionals?

dy/dx = change in value of variable y divided by change in value of variable x.

Used mostly in calculus.
