alt Hacker NewsI'm pretty sure Mathlib has had enough human authored definitions to formalize the basic calculus necessary to state Navier-Stokes for quite some time? Some other problems admittedly need quite a bit of machinery built up to even try to say what the question is, but every undergrad learns multiple approaches to formally define everything necessary to write down a PDE.

Not a mathematician, but "pretty sure" might not be good enough to resolve this question.

They do not. Maybe if they take Lean classes? Maybe starting this year they will but my youngest kid is on their like 5th math class in undergrad and hasn't had any lean at all. Not all undergrad math majors even take PDEs; applied maybe, unless you are doing applied discrete math (graphs, combinatorics).
