The video tutorial explains how to calculate partial derivatives of a function Z with respect to variables R and Theta. It begins by introducing the problem and the chain rule, then demonstrates the calculation of partial derivatives with respect to R and Theta. The tutorial also covers substituting variables and simplifying expressions to express the derivatives as functions of R and Theta.
