  “operative” instead of, uh, something else

  I think they meant “operand”. As in, in the way dy/dx can sometimes be treated as a fraction and dx treated as a value.

    I think you mean operator. The operand is the target of an operator.

      The operand is the target of an operator

      Correct. Thus, dx is an operand. It’s a thing by which you multiply the rest of the equation (or, in the case of dy/dx, by which you divide the dy).

        I’d say the $\int dx$ is the operator and the integrand is the operand.
