    I Partial derivative of a total derivative

    Thank you for your reply. It is an actual example. I have to solve a system of differential equations using Newton-Raphson method, so, let's say I have a function: f1(y1(x1),y2(x1,x2)) = 0, with something like f1 =dy1/dx1 + something else. Then to construct the Jacobian I'll need to evaluate...

    I Partial derivative of a total derivative

    Hi, So, in order to calculate a Jacobian, I need to evaluate a partial derivative of a total derivative, i.e. Let's say I have a function f(x), how do I calculate something like: ∂(df/dx)/∂f?

    Showing Rigid Rotor Microstates with Angular Momentum ≤ M

    Homework Statement By evaluating the "volume" of the relevant region of its phase space, show that the number of microstates available to a rigid rotor with angular momentum less or equal to M is (M/ħ)2. Homework Equations Consider the motion in the variables θ and φ, with...
