Multivariable

Partial Derivatives

Find derivatives of multivariable functions with respect to one variable at a time.

In mathematics, a partial derivative of a function of several variables is its derivative with respect to one of those variables, with the others held constant. It is used in multivariable calculus and vector calculus.
