  2. Jacobian matrix and determinant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacobian_matrix_and...

    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 determinant is used when making a change of variables when evaluating a multiple integral of a function over a region within its domain. To ...

  3. Determinant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Determinant

    The absolute value of the determinant together with the sign becomes the signed area of the parallelogram. The signed area is the same as the usual area , except that it is negative when the angle from the first to the second vector defining the parallelogram turns in a clockwise direction (which is opposite to the direction one would get for ...

  4. Jacobi rotation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacobi_rotation

    The first Jacobian rotation will be on the off-diagonal cell with the highest absolute value, which by inspection is [1,4] with a value of 11, and the rotation cell will also be [1,4], =, = in the equations above. The rotation angle is the result of a quadratic solution, but it can be seen in the equation that if the matrix is symmetric, then a ...

  5. Change of variables - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Change_of_variables

    Difficult integrals may also be solved by simplifying the integral using a change of variables given by the corresponding Jacobian matrix and determinant. [1] Using the Jacobian determinant and the corresponding change of variable that it gives is the basis of coordinate systems such as polar, cylindrical, and spherical coordinate systems.

  6. Density on a manifold - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Density_on_a_manifold

    From the operational point of view, a density is a collection of functions on coordinate charts which become multiplied by the absolute value of the Jacobian determinant in the change of coordinates. Densities can be generalized into s -densities , whose coordinate representations become multiplied by the s -th power of the absolute value of ...

  7. Tensor density - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tensor_density

    In differential geometry, a tensor density or relative tensor is a generalization of the tensor field concept. A tensor density transforms as a tensor field when passing from one coordinate system to another (see tensor field), except that it is additionally multiplied or weighted by a power W of the Jacobian determinant of the coordinate transition function or its absolute value.

  8. Multiple integral - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiple_integral

    The Jacobian determinant of this transformation is the following: ... In cases where the double integral of the absolute value of the function is finite, ...

  9. Pseudotensor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pseudotensor

    A change of variables in multi-dimensional integration may be achieved through the incorporation of a factor of the absolute value of the determinant of the Jacobian matrix. The use of the absolute value introduces a sign change for improper coordinate transformations to compensate for the convention of keeping integration (volume) element ...
