of the result is

f i v j

Examples
Jacobian of Vector Function
The Jacobian of a vector function is a matrix of the partial derivatives of that function.
Compute the Jacobian matrix of [x*y*z, y^2, x + z] with respect to [x, y, z].
syms x y z
jacobian([x*y*z, y^2, x + z], [x, y, z])
ans =
[ y*z, x*z, x*y]
[
0, 2*y,
0]
[
1,
0,
1]

Now, compute the Jacobian of [x*y*z, y^2, x + z] with respect to [x; y; z].
jacobian([x*y*z, y^2, x + z], [x; y; z])

Jacobian of Scalar Function

The Jacobian of a scalar function is the transpose of its gradient.
Compute the Jacobian of 2*x + 3*y + 4*z with respect to [x, y, z].
syms x y z

jacobian(2*x + 3*y + 4*z, [x, y, z])

ans =
[ 2, 3, 4]

Now, compute the gradient of the same expression.

gradient(2*x + 3*y + 4*z, [x, y, z])
ans =
2
3
4

Jacobian with Respect to Scalar

The Jacobian of a function with respect to a scalar is the first derivative of that function.
For a vector function, the Jacobian with respect to a scalar is a vector of the first
derivatives.
Compute the Jacobian of [x^2*y, x*sin(y)] with respect to x.
syms x y
jacobian([x^2*y, x*sin(y)], x)
ans =
2*x*y
sin(y)

Now, compute the derivatives.

diff([x^2*y, x*sin(y)], x)
ans =
[ 2*x*y, sin(y)]

Scalar or vector function

symbolic expression | symbolic function | symbolic vector
f

Scalar or vector function, specified as a symbolic expression, function, or vector. If f is

a scalar, then the Jacobian matrix of f is the transposed gradient of f.

Vector of variables with respect to which you compute Jacobian

symbolic variable | symbolic vector
v

Vector of variables with respect to which you compute Jacobian, specified as a

symbolic variable or vector of symbolic variables. If v is a scalar, then the result is equal
to the transpose of diff(f,v). If v is an empty symbolic object, such as sym([]), then
jacobian returns an empty symbolic object.
