Why isn't ddots working while vdots works?

I have the following matrix



usepackage{amsmath}

usepackage{amssymb}



$$

M=begin{bmatrix}

frac{partial f_1}{partial x_1}(p) & frac{partial f_1}{partial x_2}(p) & cdots & frac{partial f_1}{partial x_n}(p) \

 frac{partial f_2}{partial x_1}(p) & frac{partial f_2}{partial x_2}(p) & cdots & frac{partial f_2}{partial x_n}(p) \

$vdots$ & $vdots$ & $vdots$ & $vdots$ \

 frac{partial f_m}{partial x_1}(p) & frac{partial f_m}{partial x_2}(p) & cdots & frac{partial f_m}{partial x_n}(p) \



end{bmatrix}$$


which complies nicely. However, in the third line of the matrix, I would like to change the third "vdots" to a "ddots". If I do so, I get the following error:




LaTex Warning: No author given.



(The directory on my computer)



!Missing $ inserted.



< inserted text >



$



I.72 $vdots$ & $vdots$ & $ddots



$ & $vdots$



?




Could anybody help please?

    It only "compiles nicely" if you ignore the error messages. Everything between $$…$$ is already in math mode, so you don't need more $...$ around the vdots

            What visual should I use to simply compare current year value vs last year in Power BI desktop

            Image
            0 I have column SubToBind that shows current year ratio and column PY SubToBind which shows previous year ratio. How can I simply create a card that would be displaying them both in a nice way? Something like that: I cannot achieve that with regular card, I also tried Card with States by OKViz but also unable to see both values. In KPI visual - I dont like the word "Goal", it will confuse end users. Are there any cards or other visuals that would do the job?

Trompette piccolo en si bémol, avec des branches d'embouchure différentes pour le si bémol (la plus courte) ou la (la plus longue) Trompette piccolo La trompette piccolo est la plus petite de la famille des trompettes. Elle joue une octave plus haut que la trompette standard en si bémol. La plupart des trompettes piccolo sont conçues pour jouer dans les deux tonalités de si bémol ou la, en utilisant une branche d'embouchure différente pour chaque tonalité. Le tube de la trompette piccolo en si bémol a une longueur moitié de celle de la trompette normale en si bémol. Des trompettes piccolo en sol, fa, ut sont également fabriquées, mais elles sont rares. La trompette soprano en ré, aussi connu comme la « trompette Bach », a été inventée vers 1890 par le facteur belge Victor-Charles Mahillon pour jouer les parties hautes de la trompette dans la musique de Bach et Haendel.
