    Hi, I was just wondering if anybody knows what, if any, the difference between d and the curly d is in differentiation, I think it might be partial differentiation but does it matter?

    If so could someone explain with an example

    Yeh you have it. That's all it is. When the function you are differentiating has two or more independent variables then you must use the curly d's, showing that you're differentiating with respect to that variable while keeps all the others constant...
