Prerequisite concepts
Multivariable Calculus
Derivatives can be found while holding one or more variables constant
The value of a partial derivative depends on the value(s) of what is held constant
Derivatives of multivariable functions can be found by holding one or more variables constant (subject to physical limitations).
FIXME: Is this really a statement about paths? I don't think we have path-related concepts.
Partial derivatives that do not have the same variable(s) held constant (at the same values?) are not the same derivative
