Partial Derivatives and Multiple Integrals

Problem

Multivariable calculus generalises the single-variable toolkit. Two operations matter most for quant work: partial derivatives (sensitivities, Greeks) and iterated integrals (expectations over joint distributions).

For $f (x, y) = x^{2} y^{3}$ :

(a) Compute the mixed partial derivative $\frac{\partial ^{2} f}{\partial x \partial y}$ .

(b) Evaluate the double integral $\iint_{R} f (x, y) d A$ over the rectangle $R = [0, 1] \times [0, 2]$ .
