I wasn't too surprised when it replied with  --------- "I only have one photo so far, and parts of it are too hard to read reliably to typeset without guessing. From the visible top portion, I can make out a problem that looks like T ( x , y ) = 60 1 + x 2 + y 2 T(x,y)=\frac{60}{1+x^2+y^2} T ( x , y ) = 1 + x 2 + y 2 60 ​ with partial derivatives like ∂ T ∂ x = − 120 x ( 1 + x 2 + y 2 ) 2 , ∂ T ∂ y = − 120...
