S06: Total Derivative

Total rate of change

By Alejandro Ucan-Puc in MA1029Eng Multivariate Calculus

February 25, 2024

In this session we have the following goals:

  • Approximate a function using a plane.

  • Introduce the equation of the plane (and the Taylor polynomial).

  • Describe the total derivative using this approximation.

You can find the material for Sesión 06 in the next link slides.
