  2. Jacobian matrix and determinant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/.../Jacobian_matrix_and_determinant

    Furthermore, if the Jacobian determinant at p is positive, then f preserves orientation near p; if it is negative, f reverses orientation. The absolute value of the Jacobian determinant at p gives us the factor by which the function f expands or shrinks volumes near p; this is why it occurs in the general substitution rule. The Jacobian ...

  3. Jacobi's formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacobi's_formula

    In matrix calculus, Jacobi's formula expresses the derivative of the determinant of a matrix A in terms of the adjugate of A and the derivative of A. [1]If A is a differentiable map from the real numbers to n × n matrices, then

  4. Determinant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Determinant

    In mathematics, the determinant is a scalar-valued function of the entries of a square matrix.The determinant of a matrix A is commonly denoted det(A), det A, or | A |.Its value characterizes some properties of the matrix and the linear map represented, on a given basis, by the matrix.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacobi_matrix

    Jacobian matrix and determinant of a smooth map between Euclidean spaces or smooth manifolds Jacobi operator (Jacobi matrix), a tridiagonal symmetric matrix appearing in the theory of orthogonal polynomials

    Let random variable Y be defined as Y = X 2 where X has normal distribution with mean 0 and variance 1 (that is X ~ ... The Jacobian determinant can be calculated as ...

  7. Second partial derivative test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_partial_derivative_test

    At the remaining critical point (0, 0) the second derivative test is insufficient, and one must use higher order tests or other tools to determine the behavior of the function at this point. (In fact, one can show that f takes both positive and negative values in small neighborhoods around (0, 0) and so this point is a saddle point of f.)

  8. Rotation matrix - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotation_matrix

    If we condense the skew entries into a vector, (x,y,z), then we produce a 90° rotation around the x-axis for (1, 0, 0), around the y-axis for (0, 1, 0), and around the z-axis for (0, 0, 1). The 180° rotations are just out of reach; for, in the limit as x → ∞ , ( x , 0, 0) does approach a 180° rotation around the x axis, and similarly for ...

  9. Matrix calculus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matrix_calculus

    In mathematics, matrix calculus is a specialized notation for doing multivariable calculus, especially over spaces of matrices.It collects the various partial derivatives of a single function with respect to many variables, and/or of a multivariate function with respect to a single variable, into vectors and matrices that can be treated as single entities.
