Why isn't ddots working while vdots works?












1














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
