Partial differentiation in traditional form

Posted 2 years ago

I am trying to do partial differentiation using symbolic, but getting some error. Attaching herewith the work.

G[x_, y_] := x y
D[G[x, y], y]
(\[PartialD]G (x, y))/\[PartialD]y

want to use symbolic for better understanding. Kindly help.

I don't think you can change the behaviour of the symbol for partial derivatives, however you can use another letter:

\[GothicD] /: \[GothicD][func_]/\[GothicD][var_] := D[func, var];
G[x_, y_] := x y;
\[GothicD][G[x, y]]/(\[GothicD][x])

You need to use square bracket and subscript notation for partial derivative to make it work.

Sir Thank you for your reply. I want to use the other option.

G[x, y] := x y [PartialD][G (x, y)]/[PartialD]y

still getting error.
