Back when I was in college, we had math majors and teaching math majors. The teaching math majors were not the sharpest tools in the proverbial shed. We spent three days in the integral calculus class trying to figure out what happened to the dx when one integrated, thanks to them.

Not just Math, all science majors.

I am now tutoring the Calcuus students of the teachers you mentioned.

You can't teach what you don't know.

But they probably knew that dy/dx = y/x because the d's cancel out.
