I am having trouble understanding, why the $k$-th derivative of a map $F\colon\mathbb R^n \to\mathbb R^m$ is a symmetric multilinear map for each $x$ in $\mathbb R^n$. Can you please explain which vectors this map accepts as input where multilinearity comes from ? Also, why is symmetry mentioned ?

Thank you readingframe
