When I was going through canonical transformation I came across some equation like $$\dfrac{\partial^2 H}{\partial q \partial p} = \dfrac{\partial^2 H}{\partial p \partial q}$$ where $H$ is the Hamiltonian of a system and $q$ and $p$ are the coordinate and momentum. I know that partial differentiation is commutative when the function is of class $C^2$ . However I had no reason to believe that $H$ is so. So why does the relation hold? Can someone help me please?
