Tangent Planes and Linear Approximations
To find the tangent plane to a surface at a given point.1.To calculate the total differential of a multivariable function.2.To determine whether or not a function is differentiable.3.
Goals:

So, just because the partials exist at a point does not mean that the function is well-behaved at that point.
