How can I find the mixed partial derivatives using Matlab?

 Accepted Answer

syms x y
f = (x^4)*sin(x*y);
der = diff(f,x,y,y)
der =
- 6*x^5*sin(x*y) - x^6*y*cos(x*y)

You would differentiate with respect to y twice, so the second derivative, and once with respect to x. Essentially two calls to diff.
