Lecture

Partial Differentiation

Description

This lecture covers simple examples of partial differentiation, where the instructor explains the process of treating other variables as constants and differentiating with respect to a single variable. Through various examples in two dimensions, the lecture demonstrates how to calculate partial derivatives and gradients, emphasizing the importance of treating each variable separately. The instructor also explores the concept of symmetric matrices and how they affect the differentiation process, leading to a deeper understanding of partial derivatives and gradients in different scenarios.
