Definition of partial derivative in English English dictionary: a derivative with respect to one variable of a function of several variables; the derivative of a function of two or more variables with respect to a single variable while the other variables are considered to be constant; The derivative with respect to a single variable of a function of two or more variables, regarding other variables as constants. In differential calculus, the derivative of a function of several variables with respect to change in just one of its variables. Partial derivatives are useful in analyzing surfaces for maximum and minimum points and give rise to partial differential equations. As with ordinary derivatives, a first partial derivative represents a rate of change or a slope of a tangent line. For a three-dimensional surface, two first partial derivatives represent the slope in each of two perpendicular directions. Second, third, and higher partial derivatives give more information about how the function changes at any point
