Partial Derivatives
A partial derivative is the derivative of a multivariate function (e.g., f(x, y)) with respect to one of those variables (e.g., x rather than y).

Notation
The partial derivative of f with respect to x is written as one of:
In particular, note that ∂ is used for partial derivatives.
Total Derivation
Given the partial derivatives for each variable, the total derivative is calculated as:
