Find ∂f/∂y and ∂f/∂z in terms of the partial derivatives of f with respect to spherical polar coordinates (r, θ, φ) (see Example 3.5).
Example 3.5
A scalar point function f(r) can be expressed in terms of rectangular cartesian coordinates (x, y, z) or in terms of spherical polar coordinates (r, θ, φ), where
