Change of variables formula for multiple integrals
Transforms an integral under a C^1 diffeomorphism via the absolute Jacobian determinant
Change of variables formula for multiple integrals
Change of variables formula (one standard Riemann form): Let be open and let be a diffeomorphism . Let be a set such that and are “nice” for Riemann integration (e.g., bounded with boundary of measure zero ). If is Riemann integrable on , then is Riemann integrable on and
This theorem is the rigorous basis for coordinate changes such as polar, cylindrical, and spherical coordinates, and it explains why the Jacobian determinant appears in such transformations.
