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
.
