Partial Derivative (Geometric Meaning)

A partial derivative represents the rate of change of a multivariable function with respect to one variable, holding all other variables constant. Geometrically, it measures the slope of the tangent line to the function's graph along a specific direction.

Euler's Theorem

Euler's theorem states that if a function f(x, y) and its partial derivatives (fx, fy, fxy, fyx) are continuous in an open region, then the mixed partial derivatives fxy and fyx are equal at any point within that region. In other words, the order of differentiation doesn't matter.

Chain Rule (Partial Derivatives)

The chain rule extends to partial differentiation, allowing us to calculate the derivative of a composite function where the inner function depends on multiple variables. Basically, you multiply the derivative of the outer function with respect to the inner function by the derivative of the inner function with respect to the independent variable.

Order of Differentiation

The order of differentiation in mixed partial derivatives refers to the sequence in which you differentiate a function with respect to different variables. For example, ∂²f/∂x∂y means differentiating with respect to y first, then x.

Continuous Function

A function is continuous if its graph can be drawn without lifting the pen. In other words, there are no breaks or jumps in the graph. This is important for Euler's Theorem and mixed partial derivatives, as they require continuity for the order of differentiation to be interchangeable.

Partial Derivative of Order n

A partial derivative of order n is obtained by differentiating a function n times with respect to one or more independent variables. For example, ∂³f/∂x²∂y is a third-order partial derivative, meaning it involves three differentiations, two with respect to x and one with respect to y.
