Partial derivatives are defined as derivatives of a function of multiple variables when all but the variable of interest are held fixed during the differentiation.

The above partial derivative is sometimes denoted for brevity.
Partial derivatives can also be taken with respect to multiple variables, as denoted for examples

Such partial derivatives involving more than one variable are called mixed partial derivatives.
For a "nice" two-dimensional function (i.e., one for which , , , , exist and are continuous in a neighborhood ), then
(5) |
More generally, for "nice" functions, mixed partial derivatives must be equal regardless of the order in which the differentiation is performed, so it also is true that
(6) |
If the continuity requirement for mixed partials is dropped, it is possible to construct functions for which mixed partials are notequal. An example is the function

which has and (Wagon 1991). This function is depicted above and by Fischer (1986).
Abramowitz and Stegun (1972) give finite difference versions for partial derivatives.
A differential equation expressing one or more quantities in terms of partial derivatives is called a partial differential equation. Partial differential equations are extremely important in physics and engineering, and are in general difficult to solve.
