```To evaluate the xk derivative of f[x1, x2, x3,...,xn] at
{a1, a2, a3,...,an}, user

Derivative[0, 0, 0,...,1,...,0][f][a1, a2, a3,...,an]

where the "1" appears in position k between the first set of

[]'s and all other entries are 0.

For higher (pure) derivatives, replace the 1 with the order of

the derivative you want.  Mixed derivatives result when more than
one non-zero entry appears inside the first set of []'s.
