    The partial derivative of a function of more than one variable is the derivative of the function with respect to one variable, holding all other variables constant. It is calculated by differentiating the function with respect to the variable of interest while treating all other variables as constants. The partial derivative of a function f(x,y) with respect to x at the point (a,b) is the derivative of f at the point (a,b) if y was held fixed at b. For example, the partial derivative of z=xy with respect to x is y.
