Tht vlue cn lso be eplicitl stte, for emple, s in the nottion h (5) o which woul be the prtil erivtive tken t the specific vlue. Higher prtil erivtives cn be forme similrl, s in the nottions n, for the cross erivtive, h h h h Provie ll the vrious first erivtives n the two cross-erivtives in the two ifferent orers both eist, we cn interchnge the orer of the prtil ifferentitions in the crosserivtive; tht is, h h (53) For smll or infinitesiml chnges in n in, the resulting totl chnge in h or ifferentil or ect ifferentil is written h h h If n re both functions of some other vrible t, then the totl erivtive h / t is given b h h h t t t If n re ech themselves functions of two vribles n b, then we cn write h h h b b b o (51) (5) (54) (55) (56) Quntum Mechnics for Scientists n Engineers On-Line Course 5
