Builds on Partial derivative

Summary

A higher partial derivative of a function of several variables is a partial derivative of a partial derivative, taken one or more times. A second partial derivative such as ∂2f/∂y ∂x\partial^2 f / \partial y \, \partial x, in which the two variables differ, is called a mixed partial derivative.
