  1. Partial derivative

    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 (as opposed to the total derivative, in which all variables are allowed to vary). Partial derivatives are used in vector calculus and differential geometry. The partial derivative of a function f ( x , y , … ) {\displaystyle f(x,y,\dots )} with respect to the variable x {\displaystyle x} is variously denoted by It can be thought of as the rate of change of the function in the x {\displaystyle x} -direction. Sometimes, for z = f ( x , y , … ) {\displaystyle z=f(x,y,\ldots )} , the partial derivative of z {\displaystyle z} with respect to x {\displaystyle x} is denoted as ∂ z ∂ x . {\displaystyle {\tfrac {\partial z}{\partial x}}.} Since a partial derivative generally has the same arguments as the original function, its functional dependence is sometimes explicitly signified by the notation, such as in:

  1. partial derivative

    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 measures the rate at which the function changes with respect to that variable. The symbol for partial derivatives is ∂. For example, if a function f depends on variables x, y, and z, then the partial derivative of f with respect to x is denoted as ∂f/∂x.

One of the first known uses of the symbol in mathematics is by Marquis de Condorcet from 1770, who used it for partial differences. The modern partial derivative notation is by Adrien-Marie Legendre, though he later abandoned it; Carl Gustav Jacob Jacobi re-introduced the symbol in 1841.
