- hey now.
-
- I'm looking for an example where the second partial or a function
- F(x,y), taking the partial with respect to x first then with respect to
- y, is *not* the same as the partial with respect to y first, then x.
-
- i.e., where d is partial:
-
- dF dF
- ------ =/= -------
- dx dy dy dx
-
- (where dF : partial F; dx: partial x, etc.
- =/=: NOT equal)
-
- Can anyone please provide me with an example?
- Also, the conditions under which Fxy =/= Fyx ?
- Please e'mail, since I don't always read the news.
-
- Thanks in advance.
- Michael
