| 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''). | A '''partial derivative''' is the [[Calculus/Derivative|derivative]] of a multivariate function with respect to one of those variables. |
Partial Derivative
A partial derivative is the derivative of a multivariate function with respect to one of those variables.

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:
