Do you know about Leibniz notation for derivatives?
yes
\[ f'(x) = \frac{dy}{dx} \\ \therefore \ dy=f'(x)dx\]
isnt that obvious? why give it a section in a textbook
Hehe, I don't know, Math books can be like that, depending on the subject and author, but yes, it's a regular derivative. Maybe they just want to empathize that you can use algebraic methods for manipulation with the Leibniz notation too, unlike the Lagrange Notation where you are a bit more limited.
