Signs for Differentials And Derivatives are commonly used in daily work, so I put them together as follows

  • Differential / Derivative 1: \partial x

    1
    2
    $ \frac{\partial f}{\partial x} $  % first order
    $ \frac{\partial ^{n} f}{\partial x^{n}} $ % nth order
  • Differential / Derivative 2: \mathrm{d} x

    1
    2
    $ \frac{\mathrm{d} y }{\mathrm{d} x} $  % first order
    $ \frac{\mathrm{d}^{n} y }{\mathrm{d} x^{n}} $ % nth order
  • Differential / Derivative 3: x^{‘}

    1
    $ \frac{ y^{'} }{ x^{'} } $
  • Differential / Derivative 4: \dot x, and \dot y

    1
    2
    3
    $ \frac{ \dot y }{ \dot x } $  % one d = one dot
    $ \frac{ \ddot y }{ \ddot x } $ % two d = two dots
    $ \frac{ \dddot y }{ \dddot x } $ % three d = three dots
  • Total differential operator: \nabla f

    1
    $ \nabla f $
