Hi I have a function f(x,y,z)=0. I would like to find dx/dy and dx/dz (where I am using d for partial derivatives, I'm not sure how to get the actual symbol in this edit box), where both would be functions of x, y and z. Unfortunately, I cannot get an explicit solution x=g(y,z). Any ideas on how I'd go about solving this? Thanks Srikanth
