Entering partial derivatives?

This is my feeling as well (and similar thoughts in the graphing environment). The capabilities of the Prime is amazing. Parisse is a genius with XCAS and it's implementation. Parrish is a genius period.

DrD's point about how precise one has to be in how an entry is made in Prime is hugely important. For this amazing platform to succeed in the educational market and professional markets, it is critical that the primary mathematically equivalent means of expression be recognized by the Prime in Home, CAS, and graphing modes. The Prime should not be about finding a specific syntax amongst a variety of mathematically correct and equivalent entries.

I hope that as the Prime matures, this problem will be given a high priority. I fear that the market place has this expectation as a starting point. This may make it difficult to get school systems and the professional market that may have rejected the Prime for these reasons to reconsider...
