Oxford Calculus: Finding Critical Points for Functions of Two Variables
University of Oxford Mathematician Dr Tom Crawford explains how to calculate the critical points for a function of two variables.
Just as the critical points for a function of one variable are found by differentiation, the same techniques can be applied to a multivariable function to determine where it is stationary.
We begin with a reminder of critical points for a function of one variable, before looking at partial differentiation of a multivariable function with a worked example.
