Functions of Several Variables
To define a function of several variables

- 2.
- Leave the insertion point in the equation.
- 3.
- Click the New Definition button on the Compute toolbar,
or from
the Define submenu, choose

As in the case of functions of one variable, Scientific Notebook
always operates on expressions obtained by evaluating the function at a
point.
