IMPORTANT COMMENT ON JACOBIANS (SECTION 17.9)

• Read my reciprocal comment on 17.9.1. How does this idea extend to higher dimensions?

• Look at Step 1 on my Notes 17.9.9. Notice that the corresponding coefficient matrix (A) has determinant 3. Look at Step 4 on Notes 17.9.11. The Jacobian we want is 1/3, the reciprocal of 3. This is not a coincidence!

• The Jacobian of x and y with respect to u and v is essentially the reciprocal of the Jacobian of u and v with respect to x and y. This latter Jacobian is easy to find! You just use the A matrix from 17.9.10, which is easily obtained by writing down coefficients from your substitution statements.

• It helps that our last example in 17.9 dealt with a linear transformation; the relationships between (x,y) and (u,v) are linear, so our Jacobians are constants. For nonlinear transformations, however, you may well need to solve for x and y in terms of u and v, anyway.

Jacobian Applet (I don't know if this works):
