I have discovered through personal experience that the phrase "partial derivative" sounds absolutely terrifying until you learn that it's actually not at all what you imagined.
So, you know how you can take the first, second, etc. derivative of a function, yeah? I thought a partial derivative was, like, a one-and-a-halfth derivative or some shit lol.
No! It's just ignoring everything else and treating them like constants lol!
#look ive never taken a class yet where i have to work with partial derivatives#i was actually looking up what a jacobian was cause i need to try and understand this research paper for my compiler design class#anyway til a jacobian is just a matrix of partial derivatives of a function
