Functions of Several Variables

This document discusses functions of several variables. It begins by defining functions of two variables as those with two independent variables. Some examples of functions of two variables are provided. The document then explains partial differentiation, also called partial derivatives, as taking the derivative of a function with respect to one variable while treating other variables as constants. It provides examples of calculating partial derivatives. Finally, it briefly introduces partial integration as the reverse process of partial differentiation.

When you have more than one independent variable.

For example:

Functions of Two Variables:

When you have two independent variables.


e.g.

Some Examples:

Partial Differentiation (OR) Partial Derivatives:

(OR)

In partial differentiation, we keep one variable as a constant.

Example 1:

Example 1:

Solution:

Taking partial derivative on both sides

Because you are differentiating with respect to you will treat as a


constant.

Therefore,

Solution:

Taking partial derivative on both sides
