The
Chain Rule for Functions of Several Variables
|
|||
It can be helpful to construct a “tree diagram” to illustrate the
chain rule structure. Tree
diagram for w = w(x,y) where
x = x(t) and y = y(t). It follows then that the chain rule for dw/dt is given as
above by the expression: dw/dt = [∂w/ ∂x] dx/dt + [∂w/ ∂y] dy/dt Click here to continue
discussion of the multivariable chain rule. |
