1. Introduction
- A function e.g f(x,y) or z(x,y)
-
2. Second Partial Derivatives
- Taking two consecutive partial derivatives with respect to the same variable
-
Standard Notation
- fxx
- fyy
-
3. Mixed Partial Derivatives
- Taking partial derivatives with respect to one variable, and then take another partial derivative with respect to a different variable
-
Standard Notation
- fyx
- fxy
- Del Notation
- Subscript Notation
-
4. Higher Partial Derivatives
-
Mixed partial derivatives give same result whenever :
- f, fx, fy, fxy, fyx
-
Third and higher order :
- fyyx
- fyyxx
-
Engineering Applications
