Abstract
Leibnitz's theorem is used in the product rule to generatea series method for computing the nthorder derivative ofa function that depends on seven Independent variables.The new series method does not require the knowledge ofthe preceding derivative before obtaining the succeedingones. A generalization of the method is also presented.
