bookImplementing Partial Derivatives in Python

In this video, we'll learn how to compute partial derivatives of functions with multiple variables using Python. Partial derivatives are essential in optimization problems, machine learning, and data science to analyze how a function changes with respect to one variable while keeping the others constant.

1. Defining a Multivariable Function

x, y = sp.symbols('x y')
f = 4*x**3*y + 5*y**2
  • Here, we define xx and yy as symbolic variables;
  • We then define the function f(x,y)=4x3y+5y2f(x, y) = 4x³y + 5y².

2. Computing Partial Derivatives

df_dx = sp.diff(f, x)  
df_dy = sp.diff(f, y)
  • sp.diff(f, x) computes ∂f∂x\frac{∂f}{∂x} while treating yy as a constant;
  • sp.diff(f, y) computes ∂f∂y\frac{∂f}{∂y} while treating xx as a constant.

3. Evaluating Partial Derivatives at (x=1, y=2)

df_dx_val = df_dx.subs({x: 1, y: 2})  
df_dy_val = df_dy.subs({x: 1, y: 2})
  • The .subs({x: 1, y: 2}) function substitutes x=1x=1 and $$y=2$4 into the computed derivatives;
  • This allows us to numerically evaluate the derivatives at a specific point.

4. Printing the Results

import sympy

x, y = sp.symbols('x y')
f = 4*x**3*y + 5*y**2

df_dx = sp.diff(f, x)  
df_dy = sp.diff(f, y)

df_dx_val = df_dx.subs({x: 1, y: 2})  
df_dy_val = df_dy.subs({x: 1, y: 2})

print("Function: f(x, y) =", f)
print("∂f/∂x =", df_dx)
print("∂f/∂y =", df_dy)
print("∂f/∂x at (1,2) =", df_dx_val)
print("∂f/∂y at (1,2) =", df_dy_val)
copy
  • We print the original function, its partial derivativesw, and their evaluations at (1,2)(1,2).

1. What does the partial derivative of f(x,y)f(x, y) with respect to xx represent?

2. What will sp.diff(f, y) return for given function?

f(x,y)=x2y+3y2f(x, y) = x²y + 3y²

3. If we evaluate ∂f∂x\frac{∂f}{∂x} at (2,3)(2,3) and the result is 24, what does this mean?
