Partial Derivative notations

notation is simply just a way to represent something (in this case, to represent a partial derivative).

The partial derivate of f(x,y) with respect to y would look like...

If you see "" instead of "d" in Leibnitz notation, it means you're working with partial derivatives!

The partial derivate of f(x,y) with respect to y would look like...

Lagrange notation doesn't have a spot to declare what variable you're taking the derivative with respect to... so we won't use it with partial derivatives!

The partial derivate of f(x,y) with respect to y would look like...

The partial derivate of f(x,y) with respect to x, and then y would look like...

When working with multiple variables, take derivatives with respect to the variables in the same order declared!
