Students’ strategies for solving a multirepresentational partial derivative problem in thermodynamics
We present an empirical analysis of students’ use of partial derivatives in the context of problem solving in upper-division thermodynamics. Task-based individual interviews were conducted with eight middle-division physics students. The interviews involved finding a partial derivative from informat...
