1. Section 14.2 Computing Partial Derivatives Algebraically

2. Let’s look at some examples
We have looked at the definition of partial derivatives and how to calculate them numerically
In these cases, what we found is a derivative of z with respect to one variable while holding the other constant
It turns out we can use the same notion of holding one variable constant along with our rules off differentiation from previous calculus classes in order to compute derivatives algebraically
Let’s look at some examples

3. Find the partials of the following:
