Hello. I need to find the partial derivative with regards to variables in a list. The straight forward syntax would be D[f[a,b,c,d,e,],a,b,c,d,e] My problem is that I don't know the variables up front of finding the derivative. I've tried Apply[], but as I am quite new to Mathematica, I haven't been able to use Apply[] with functions with more than one argument. Please advice. -- Christopher Grinde
