❖ Finding Partial Derviatives ❖

  • In this video we look at finding partial derivatives in calculus.
    I show three examples of finding all the partial derivatives for a given function.
    The main idea is that to find a partial derivative we are taking a derivative with respect to a particular variable. Mechanically what we are doing is we treat all other variables besides the one that we are taking the derivative with respect to, and we treat those variables like constants when finding the partial derivative.
    This is a topic that one would encounter in multivariable calculus.

    It is just astounding how professors can't get it across this way...2 hour lectures and what not of gibberish.

    • @patrickjmt
      @patrickjmt  10 років тому +34

      usually that gibberish is the proof and derivations; it is important if you are in a math class; some of those people in there might actually be math majors...

    • @JayTekken1
      @JayTekken1 10 років тому +7

      I'm a math major and when they proof it, it goes right over my head.

    • @patrickjmt
      @patrickjmt  10 років тому +21

      join the crowd, that is how it goes. they are still obligated to go over that stuff. my advice is to go through the section the day before and try to understand as much of the proof as you can. of course, no one actually does this because it is very time consuming... (expect people like me)

    • @JayTekken1
      @JayTekken1 10 років тому +2

      Lol and we greatly appreciate you taking the time out to comprehend the material. But I'll try looking over the material the class before and see how that works out for me. Keep up the great work!

    • @patrickjmt
      @patrickjmt  10 років тому +23

      well seriously, the proofs are the hard part but it would be a disservice if the profs did not go over them. there is no way that 3 hours a week in class can make this stuff clear; there is a ton of work to do outside of class. i am always shocked though that math is a subject where you are not expected to read the material beforehand and yet somehow understand it. as someone who went through it, read the material before. you wont get it all but class time will be so so much more productive

  • @sylvieg3883

    Two of my calculus professors told us to watch your videos before attending lecture! One was for parametric equations and the other was for finding the determinant of 3x3 matrix. I think the math department at my school is on to you.;)
    I had already been watching your videos for a year. You especially helped me in physics. My prof sounded like crickets chirping, so it was really hard to understand and I would space out eventually. One time I remember I was overjoyed when some test questions were almost identical to your videos. Thank you!!

  • @TheExcluZ
    @TheExcluZ 9 років тому +8

    Patrick.. I can't thank you enough. I thought I would spend at least 2-3 hours on each lesson just to grasp the concept .However, it only took me 20-30 minutes to grasp each one and give me confidence to tackle my homework questions thanks to you. I've watched all your calculus videos connected to my course and I am very happy with the results. I planned my studies for two weeks and it only took me 5 days to finish understanding the entire course lol! Very confident about my exam now. Cheers :D

    @blueblacksliver13 12 років тому

    The dx of any constant is 0. dx(3) = 0 dx(2.0542689)=0 dx(523)=0.
    When you are taking the derivative with respect to x, y is a constant - like the numbers above. It can be any number, but it's a NUMBER, where as x is a variable.
    This can be switched when you take the derivative with respect to y. X is now the number.

    A constant will only go away when you try and take the derivative of it. In the first step he took the derivative with respect to r. In the second step he took the derivative of ln, and in the final step he took the derivative of (r^2+s^2). By then, he was taking the derivative of s^2 which becomes a 0.Thats why it isn't always 0. It has to be derived in order for a constant to become 0.

    @aarono8979 12 років тому

    @zarp29 The derivative of a constant term is 0. If you imagine a constant term as a function by itself it is a horizontal line, so its rate of change is 0. With partial derivatives, you treat some variables as constants. So, when they are the only variable in a term, the derivative of that term is 0.

    @DeneuveBrutus 13 років тому

    @DJFistOfCurry I got it!! because when your holding a variable as a constant, its easier to visualize if you just put a constant there.. like y is 5 and x is 77 or something, so when your taking the derivative with respect to y you would really have x 5^2 z^3 therefore y would be 0, if you take the derivative of 5^2 its 0.

    I don't do these in English but I'll try to explain:
    Since there is xy^2z^3 in the first part which include x, and 3yz in the second part which doesn't include x, the first part, it is able to derivative it as it includes x, and it'll result with y^2z^3 (as y and z are counted as constants), just like you would imagine derivativing 3x which results as 3.
    As for 3yz, since x is not included, it is only counted as a constant and fx a constant would be 0.
    Hope it helped. :]
