Total derivative | Math Wiki | Fandom
https://math.fandom.com/wiki/Total_derivativeA total derivative of a multivariable function of several variables, each of which is a function of another argument, is the derivative of the function with respect to said argument. it is equal to the sum of the partial derivatives with respect to each variable times the derivative of that variable with respect to the independent variable.For example, given a function , and with being ...
Total derivative - Wikipedia
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Total_derivativeIn mathematics, the total derivative of a function f at a point is the best linear approximation near this point of the function with respect to its arguments. Unlike partial derivatives, the total derivative approximates the function with respect to all of its arguments, not just a single one. In many situations, this is the same as considering all partial derivatives simultaneously. The term "total derivative" is primarily used when f is a function of several variables, because when f is a f…

We found that the total derivative of a scalar-valued function, also called a scalar eld, Rn!R, is the gradient rf = (f x 1;f x 2;:::;f xn) = @f @x 1; @f @x 2;:::; @f n : When n = 2 the gradient, rf = (f x;f y), gives the slopes of the tangent plane in the x-direction and the y-direction.
