Partial derivative - Wikipedia
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partial_derivativePartial differentiation is the act of choosing one of these lines and finding its slope. Usually, the lines of most interest are those that are parallel to the -plane, and those that are parallel to the -plane (which result from holding either or constant, respectively). To find the slope of the line tangent to the function at and parallel to the
Lecture 9: Partial derivatives
people.math.harvard.edu › ~knill › teachingLecture 9: Partial derivatives If f(x,y) is a function of two variables, then ∂ ∂x f(x,y) is defined as the derivative of the function g(x) = f(x,y), where y is considered a constant. It is called partial derivative of f with respect to x. The partial derivative with respect to y is defined similarly. We also use the short hand notation fx(x,y) = ∂
