Introduction to Calculus with Derivatives
Isn't there a better, more clearer, and more intuitive notation for calculus than dx/dy, or even f'? I feel these notations are somewhat ambiguous and bordering on abuse of notation.

Yes. There is an operator notation for the derivative where you can both avoid the not-quite-division and specify the variable you're dealing with.
