Dear Sirs: Any ideas how I can plug into mathematica to find the 2nd or third derivative of an implicit function? The first derivative is okay. I'm using( Example): in:eq= x^3 + y^3 ==2 in: step1= Dt[eq,x] in: step2=Solve[step1, Dt[y,x] (* This gives me the first derivative*). Thanks again for any suggestions. Mavalosjr@aol.com Manuel Avalos
