Using the definition of e, we can calculate the derivative of e
x
with respect
to x:
This expression is sometimes also denoted as exp[x]. For this reason, ln is
known as the natural logarithm.
Partial derivative for functions of two variables with respect to one of the
variables can be obtained by considering the other variable as a constant.
For example,
as discussed in Chapter 8.
