3.1. Partial Derivatives and its Applications: The concept of partial differentiation is applied for function of two
or more independent variables. Partial differentiation is the process of finding various orders partial derivatives of
given function. Partial derivatives are very useful in determining Maxima and Minima, Jacobian, Series expansion
of function of several variables, Error and Approximation, In solution of wave and heat equations etc.
3.1.1. First order partial derivatives:
If𝑢 = 𝑓(𝑥, 𝑦) be any function of two independent variables 𝑥, 𝑦hen first order partial derivative of u with respect to ′𝑥′
𝜕𝑢
is obtained by differentiating u with respect to ‘x’ treating y and function of ‘y’ as constant and is denoted by
𝜕𝑥
Similarly fist order partial derivative of u with respect to ‘y’ is obtained by differentiating u with respect to ‘y’ treating
𝜕𝑢
‘x’ and functions of ‘x’ as constant and is denoted by𝜕𝑦 .
Solution: Here we have given 𝑢 = 𝑥 2 + 2𝑥𝑦 − 𝑦 2 + 2𝑥 − 3𝑦 + 5
𝜕𝑢
Therefore, to get value of 𝜕𝑥 we shall differentiate u with respect to ‘x’ treating ‘y’ as constant
𝝏𝒖
= 𝟐𝒙 + 𝟐𝒚 + 𝟐
𝝏𝒙
𝜕𝑢
Also, to find we shall differentiate u with respect to ‘y’ treating ‘x’ as constant
𝜕𝑦
𝝏𝒖
𝝏𝒚
= 𝟐𝒙 − 𝟐𝒚 − 𝟑.
3.1.2. Second and higher order partial derivatives:
If u f ( x, y ) be any function of two independent variables x, y then second order partial derivative of u with respect
to ′𝑥′ is obtained by differentiating u with respect to ‘x’ twice in succession treating ‘y’ and function of ‘y’ as constant
𝜕2 𝑢
each time and is denoted by 𝜕𝑥 2.

Similarly second order partial derivative of u with respect to ‘y’ is obtained by differentiating u with respect to ‘y’
𝜕2 𝑢
twice treating ‘x’ and functions of ‘x’ as constant each time and is denoted by 𝜕𝑦2 .
𝜕𝑢
Here if we differentiate 𝜕𝑦 with respect to ‘x’ treating ‘y’ as constant then we get second order derivative of u denoted
𝜕2 𝑢 𝜕𝑢
as𝜕𝑥𝜕𝑦 . Similarly differentiating 𝜕𝑥 with respect to ‘y’ treating ‘x’ and function of ‘x’ as constant we get second order
𝜕2 𝑢 𝜕2 𝑢 𝜕2 𝑢
derivative of u denoted as 𝜕𝑦𝜕𝑥 . It is interesting to see that 𝜕𝑥𝜕𝑦
= 𝜕𝑦𝜕𝑥 . In the similar way third and other higher
order partial derivatives can be evaluated.
𝜕2 𝑢 𝜕2 𝑢
Example-2: Find all first and second order partial derivatives of𝑢(𝑥, 𝑦) = 𝑥 𝑦 . Hence show that = .
𝜕𝑥𝜕𝑦 𝜕𝑦𝜕𝑥
Solution: Here we have 𝑢(𝑥, 𝑦) = 𝑥 𝑦 … … … … . (1)
Differentiating equation (1) partially with respect to ‘x’ and ‘y’ we get
Differentiating equation (3) partially with respect to ‘x’ treating ‘y’ as constant, we get
𝜕𝑟 𝝏𝒓 𝒙
2𝑟 (𝜕𝑥 ) = 2𝑥 𝒐𝒓 (𝝏𝒙) = 𝒓
𝑦 𝒚
Similarly Differentiating equation (3) partially with respect to ‘y’ treating ‘x’ as constant, we get
