    It is straightforward, you have a summation u(x,y) = \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} F_n(x)G_n(y) where F_n(x) is a function of x only and G_n(y) is a function of y only then.

    Then,
    \frac{\partial u}{\partial x} = \sum_{n=1}^{\infty}F_n'(x)G_(y)
    And,
    \frac{\partial u}{\partial y} = \sum_{n=1}^{\infty}F_n(x)G_n'(y).

    And so on.
