Somehow the PP you used on that file sort of makes it look like an oil
painting on a board.

Not just differential calculus. I was taught both differential and
integral calculus at age 15 (in Scotland in 1956), and not just how to
do it. We were required to understand it well well enough to be able
to prove from first principles the basic theorems behind
differentiation and integration.
Nowadays the first year of university mathematics has to be taken up
covering the ground that used to be covered in school, plus revising
the stuff that has been done in school, but badly.
