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.
