Tutorial 8

This tutorial covers partial derivatives and multivariable calculus concepts. It contains 6 problems: 1) determining partial derivatives of multivariable functions; 2) finding a second-order mixed partial derivative; 3) calculating a third-order partial derivative; 4) evaluating higher-order partial derivatives; 5) showing that partial derivatives with respect to x and y of a function of x and y are equal; and 6) verifying that a given function satisfies the three-dimensional Laplace equation, an important PDE.
