First Order Partial Derivatives<br />

For functions with more variables, the partial derivatives can be approximated<br />

by grouping together all of the same variables and applying the univariate<br />

approximation for that group.<br />

For example, if F(x, y) is our function, then some first order partial derivative<br />

approximations are:<br />

F(<br />

x h,<br />

y)<br />

F(<br />

x<br />

f x<br />
