Have a look at the help and documentation for jacobian.

My bad, but: Same difference. What you ask for would then be something like the combined Jacobians for each row of your input matrix, how, you'd go about storing those differentials is for you to chose, and will depend on what you need to do with them. Sometimes I prefer using 3-D arrays. Sometimes it is beneficial to use 1 and 2-D arrays for neat matrix-multiplications, then it is easy to convert matrices to column-vectors using:
V = M(:);
Then you've straightened out your matrix to a vector where you can directly use jacobian, after that you might want to reshape it to suit your needs.
