Every thing other is fixed , other things means does not change Explanation: dear Matthew that is not a simple word in that context, when you have a lot of variable f(x,y,..) and when you want only understand, let us say price to quantity relation you say ceterius paribus that is all other things does not change , or not varied. That means partial differentiation in mathematical context. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2002-01-31 10:18:20 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- That means all (other) things being equal but that does not mean anything to asker, It is used to find out or to focus on the relation between two variable one dependent and other is independent in that context. In short, it also means partial derivative of such dependent variable with respect to independent one. |
