Differentiability in Several Variables Revisited
Spindler, K.
International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, v38 n2 p237-245 Mar 2007
This paper introduces a concept of differentiability for functions in several variables which has a very natural definition and shares all the properties one expects of a notion of differentiability, but is shown to be weaker than the usual concept of differentiability defined as local linearizability. The exact connection between the two different concepts is exhibited. (Contains 6 figures.)
