I had taken a multi-variable calculus course and since have misplaced my notes. I recall the prof inventing his own notation because somewhere partial derivatives using Leibniz notation don't show the correct path. I think it was something like if you had a function f(x,y)=z and y depended on x and t then if you write
[math] \frac{\partial z}{\partial x}[/math] it's unclear which x is being referred to. Is this right? If no does anyone else know of an amibguity that arises?
