3. Section 1: Partial Differentiation (Introduction) 3
1. Partial Differentiation (Introduction)
In the package on introductory differentiation, rates of change
of functions were shown to be measured by the derivative. Many
applications require functions with more than one variable: the ideal
gas law, for example, is
pV = kT
where p is the pressure, V the volume, T the absolute temperature of
the gas, and k is a constant. Rearranging this equation as
p =
kT
V
shows that p is a function of T and V . If one of the variables, say T,
is kept fixed and V changes, then the derivative of p with respect to
V measures the rate of change of pressure with respect to volume. In
this case, it is called the partial derivative of p with respect to V and
written as
∂p
∂V
.
4. Section 1: Partial Differentiation (Introduction) 4
Example 1 If p =
kT
V
, find the partial derivatives of p:
(a) with respect to T, (b) with respect to V .
Solution
(a) This part of the example proceeds as follows:
p =
kT
V
,
∴
∂p
∂T
=
k
V
,
where V is treated as a constant for this calculation.
(b) For this part, T is treated as a constant. Thus
p = kT
1
V
= kTV −1
,
∴
∂p
∂V
= −kTV −2
= −
kT
V 2
.
5. Section 1: Partial Differentiation (Introduction) 5
The symbol ∂ is used whenever a function with more than one variable
is being differentiated but the techniques of partial differentiation are
exactly the same as for (ordinary) differentiation.
Example 2 Find
∂z
∂x
and
∂z
∂y
for the function z = x2
y3
.
Solution
z = x2
y3
∴
∂z
∂x
= 2xy3
,
and
∂z
∂y
= x2
3y2
,
= 3x2
y2
.
For the first part y3
is treated as
a constant and the derivative of
x2
with respect to x is 2x.
For the second part x2
is treated
as a constant and the derivative
of y3
with respect to y is 3y2
.
Exercise 1. Find
∂z
∂x
and
∂z
∂y
for each of the following functions.
(Click on the green letters for solutions.)
(a) z = x2
y4
, (b) z = (x4
+ x2
)y3
, (c) z = y
1
2 sin(x).
6. Section 2: The Rules of Partial Differentiation 6
2. The Rules of Partial Differentiation
Since partial differentiation is essentially the same as ordinary differ-
entiation, the product, quotient and chain rules may be applied.
Example 3 Find
∂z
∂x
for each of the following functions.
(a) z = xy cos(xy) , (b) z =
x − y
x + y
, (c) z = (3x + y)2
.
Solution
(a) Here z = uv, where u = xy and v = cos(xy) so the product rule
applies (see the package on the Product and Quotient Rules).
u = xy and v = cos(xy)
∴
∂u
∂x
= y and
∂v
∂x
= −y sin(xy) .
Thus
∂z
∂x
=
∂u
∂x
v + u
∂v
∂x
= y cos(xy) − xy2
sin(xy) .
7. Section 2: The Rules of Partial Differentiation 7
(b) Here z = u/v, where u = x − y and v = x + y so the quotient rule
applies (see the package on the Product and Quotient Rules).
u = x − y and v = x + y
∴
∂u
∂x
= 1 and
∂v
∂x
= 1 .
Thus
∂z
∂x
=
v
∂u
∂x
− u
∂v
∂x
v2
=
(x + y) − (x − y)
(x + y)2
=
2y
(x + y)2
.
(c) In this case z = (3x + y)2
so z = u2
where u = 3x + y, and the
chain rule applies (see the package on the Chain Rule).
z = u2
and u = 3x + y
∴
∂z
∂u
= 2u and
∂u
∂x
= 3 .
Thus ∂z
∂x
=
∂z
∂u
∂u
∂x
= 2(3x + y)3 = 6(3x + y) .
8. Section 2: The Rules of Partial Differentiation 8
Exercise 2. Find
∂z
∂x
and
∂z
∂y
for each of the following functions.
(Click on the green letters for solutions.)
(a) z = (x2
+3x) sin(y), (b) z =
cos(x)
y5
, (c) z = ln(xy),
(d) z = sin(x) cos(xy), (e) z = e(x2
+y2
)
, (f) z = sin(x2
+ y).
Quiz If z = cos(xy), which of the following statements is true?
(a)
∂z
∂x
=
∂z
∂y
, (b)
∂z
∂x
=

9. Section 3: Higher Order Partial Derivatives 9
3. Higher Order Partial Derivatives
Derivatives of order two and higher were introduced in the package on
Maxima and Minima. Finding higher order derivatives of functions
of more than one variable is similar to ordinary differentiation.
Example 4 Find
∂2
z
∂x2
if z = e(x3
+y2
)
.
Solution First differentiate z with respect to x, keeping y constant,
then differentiate this function with respect to x, again keeping y
constant.
z = e(x3
+y2
)
∴
∂z
∂x
= 3x2
e(x3
+y2
)
using the chain rule
∂2
z
∂x2
=
∂(3x2
)
∂x
e(x3
+y2
)
+ 3x2 ∂(e(x3
+y2
)
)
∂x
using the product rule
∂2
z
∂x2
= 6xe(x3
+y2
)
+ 3x2
(3x2
e(x3
+y2
)
)
= (9x4
+ 6x)e(x3
+y2
)
10. Section 3: Higher Order Partial Derivatives 10
In addition to both
∂2
z
∂x2
and
∂2
z
∂y2
, when there are two variables there
is also the possibility of a mixed second order derivative.
Example 5 Find
∂2
z
∂x∂y
if z = e(x3
+y2
)
.
Solution The symbol
∂2
z
∂x∂y
is interpreted as
∂
∂x
∂z
∂y
; in words,
first differentiate z with respect to y, keeping x constant, then differ-
entiate this function with respect to x, keeping y constant. (It is this
differentiation, first with respect to x and then with respect to y, that
leads to the name of mixed derivative.)
First with x constant
∂z
∂y
= 2ye(x3
+y2
)
(using the chain rule.)
Second with y constant
∂2
z
∂x∂y
=
∂
∂x
2ye(x3
+y2
)
= 3x2
2ye(x3
+y2
)
= 6x2
ye(x3
+y2
)
.
11. Section 3: Higher Order Partial Derivatives 11
The obvious question now to be answered is: what happens if the
order of differentiation is reversed?
Example 6 Find
∂2
z
∂y∂x
=
∂
∂y
∂z
∂x
if z = e(x3
+y2
)
.
Solution
First with y constant
∂z
∂x
= 3x2
e(x3
+y2
)
(using the chain rule).
Second with x constant
∂2
z
∂y∂x
=
∂
∂y
3x2
e(x3
+y2
)
= 2y3x2
e(x3
+y2
)
= 6x2
ye(x3
+y2
)
=
∂2
z
∂x∂y
.
As a general rule, when calculating mixed derivatives the order of
differentiation may be reversed without affecting the final result.
12. Section 3: Higher Order Partial Derivatives 12
Exercise 3. Confirm the statement on the previous page by finding
both
∂2
z
∂x∂y
and
∂2
z
∂y∂x
for each of the following functions, whose first
order partial derivatives have already been found in exercise 2. (Click
on the green letters for solutions.)
(a) z = (x2
+3x) sin(y), (b) z =
cos(x)
y5
, (c) z = ln(xy),
(d) z = sin(x) cos(xy), (e) z = e(x2
+y2
)
, (f) z = sin(x2
+ y).
Notation For first and second order partial derivatives there is a
compact notation. Thus
∂f
∂x
can be written as fx and
∂f
∂y
as fy.
Similarly
∂2
f
∂x2
is written fxx while
∂2
f
∂x∂y
is written fxy.

sin(x), which of the following is zxx + zyy?
(a) e−y
sin(x), (b) 0, (c) −e−y
