How do I make a derivative?
Making derivatives essentially comes down to one trick: Tell OOo it’s a fraction.
In other words, you have to use the “over†command. Combine this with either the letter “d†(for a total derivative) or the “partial†command (for a partial derivative) to achieve the effect of a derivative.
