Oxford Calculus: Jacobians Explained

  • University of Oxford mathematician Dr Tom Crawford explains how to calculate the Jacobian for a 2D coordinate change and applies the general formula to polar coordinates.
    Test yourself with some exercises on calculating Jacobians for parabolic, hyperbolic and spherical polar coordinates with this FREE worksheet in Maple Learn: learn.maplesoft.com/index.htm...
    We begin with a discussion of when it is appropriate to change coordinates in an integral and how area calculations work in general. This is then exemplified with the unit circle and switching from Cartesian coordinates to polar coordinates where the Jacobian - or ‘stretch factor’ - is given by r.
    We then derive the general formula for a 2D Jacobian using a geometrical approach and the deformation of a rectangle to a parallelogram. Finally, the general formula is used to verify the earlier result of the area of the unit circle being equal to pi.

      the jacobian has an rate of scaling under transformation and jacobians are the true derivative and finding the correct scaling factors from determinants to make the explosion in Riemannian rectangles of the integrals the error converges with infinite sum so the scaling factor is there to rectify the error rate in convergence in rectangles under transformation the rectangles explode and contract and at miniature scale the each point under transformation has the scaling factor

    Feels great to know why the Jacobian comes into the calculations when switching coordinate systems. I never learned that while doing multivariate calculus this past semester. Keep up the good work! Regards from a fellow math nerd from Sweden.

    I brushed across the Jacobian while learning statistics recently. It seemed reasonable that we'd need to scale by the change of space in that context, but this video made it concrete as to what was going on behind the scenes. Thanks, Tom!

    I'm shocked how you've packed many topics such as vector product, Jacobian, areas, and more into such a video, while clearly explaining Jacobian, the main topic. Even if I don't speak English well I can understand it and it is very interesting to watch the explanation and behavior as if you are transmitting energy to the viewer. I'm very satisfied.

    This really should be taught at A-level rather than first-year undergrad courses. Jacobians act as a nice sliproad onto the main highway of tensors and differential geometry in general, whose introduction is in turn often delayed (or even omitted) at bachelor's level.

  • @likithstochastic
    @likithstochastic Před 2 lety +8

    Thanks! That was explained in an intuitive way. I guess the key here is to think of the elemental rectangular areas changing in to rotated parallelograms during the coordinate transformation. The example you gave in the beginning with regard to the area of the circle makes the concept clearer.

    @ian-haggerty Před rokem +1

    Defining basis vectors as the rate of change of position vector would make this clearer: i = dR / dx, j = dR / dy, dA = |(dx * i) x (dy * j)|. The Jacobian naturally springs up when considering change of coordinates under these definitions. You don't need to rely on cartesian and the area element is well defined.
