Then we classify each critical point using the A discussion of the key ideas in the Clairaut's theorem, also known as Schwarz's theorem or Young's theorem, says that mixed Why does the Hessian matrix determinant give us information about whether critical points are maxima, minima, or saddle points? Welcome to my video series on Multivariable Differential Calculus. You can access the full playlist here: ... This video derives the gradient and the hessian from basic ideas. It shows how the gradient lets you find the directional This turned out to be a bit longer than I thought, but enjoy!
