MATLAB: How to find total derivative

derivative

i want to find total derivative in MATLAB eq== cos(x) = sin(y)*x the solution should be like this -sin(x) = x*cos(y)*dy/dx + sin(y)

Hey Kanav,

Check out "diff" in the Symbolic Math Toolbox. One thing to note is that for the form you want, you need to explicitly define y as a function of x.

syms x y(x)
diff(cos(x) - sin(y)*x,x)

returns

- sin(y(x)) - sin(x) - x*cos(y(x))*diff(y(x), x)

   syms x y
   f(x,y) = x*sin(y);
   d2fdxdy = diff(diff(f,x),y); % = cos(y)

Another way is:

   syms x y
   diff(x*sin(x*y),x,y);  % = 2*x*cos(x*y)-x^2*y*sin(x*y)

The problem is not in solving

x = 0:0.8:pi;
A = sin(x).^(1/3)
B = cos(x).^(1/3)

the operator

.^

solves for either real or complex.

The problem lays in the fact that surf doesn't take in complex values.

To solve the long expression of H, since you are dealing with complex numbers, you have to plot 2 surfs, not one: Real and Imaginary, or Modulus and Phase
