Suppose $F(x,y,z) \equiv f(x) g(y) h(z)$. This post shows how to calculate a partial derivative of a multivariable function $F(x,y,z)$ with respect to each Cartesian coordinates. The resulting expressions are in spherical coordinates. In previous…

For a functions $f(x)$, $g(y)$ and $h(z)$, the chain rule yields $ \frac{\partial f(x)}{\partial \phi} = ( \frac{\partial f}{\partial x} ) ( \frac{\partial x}{\partial \phi} )$. $ \frac{\partial g(y)}{\partial \phi} = (\frac{\partial g}{\partial y})…
