On an ambiguity in the concept of partial and total derivatives in classical analysis
arXiv:math/9906079
Abstract
Ambiguity is shown in the context of the differential calculus of several variables and with the help of the language of category theory, a way to solve it in its most general form is offered. It is also shown that this new definition is related to other well-known definitions in the literature.
