    A great refresher on stuff I've forgotten over 20 years. After you've been out of school for a while, you just robotically insert "r dr dθ" for "dx dy" without even considering why you are doing it. Jacobians are just things you vaguely remember when trying to code up some algorithm you found in a paper and cursing how much linear algebra you have forgotten.

    There is a simpler way to think of this concept without having to understand why the jacobian is neccessary. dy and dx are graphically the deriviatives of lengths. The corresponding derivatives of lengths in polar coordinates is dS and dr, not d(theta) and dr, where S is arc length. dS = rd(theta). dA then = dy dx = dr dS = r dr d(theta). It works better with visuals, but I always found this a helpful way to understand this concept.

      Understanding the Jacobian helps to generalize whatever transformation you'd like to do, regardless how much you can "visualize" the new integral.
      However, the geometric example using dS, as r dθ, helps to visualize "what's going on" when beginning in integral change of variables.

    • @Zxv975
      @Zxv975 Год назад +113

      Good question. The tl;dr is that the typical 2D integral is wrong and is missing a wedge product. If you include the wedge product, then deriving the Jacobian is simple algebra and nothing mystical at all.
      A (very long) but more complete explanation is as follows. Honestly you could make an entire video on properly explaining this this idea...
      First, note that the double integral we're familiar with is missing something crucial. We know from 1D integration that integrals are signed; they carry information about orientation. This is still present in 2D with swapping bounds, but it isn't present when swapping the order of integration. For example, calculate the volume of a cube, given by f(x, y) = 1 from 0 to 1
      ∫₀¹∫₀¹ f(x, y)dxdy = ∫₀¹∫₀¹dxdy= 1
      This is positively oriented: you're tracing out the 2D square in the x-y plane in the anti-clockwise direction (we arbitrarily call this "positive")
      However, if we swap our order of integration we should get something negatively oriented, but we don't
      ∫₀¹∫₀¹dydx = 1
      This *should* be negative because it traces out the square in the opposite orientation (clockwise), but it's not. What gives?
      The answer is that dxdy was the incorrect area form, and should instead be dx∧dy. This wedge operation behaves like the cross product in 2D and 3D (but it also works in arbitrary dimension), so it has the rule dy∧dx = -dx∧dy. This alone fixes the problem and recovers orientation.
      You could also arrive at the same conclusion by trying to integrate along axes that aren't perpendicular (i.e. using infinitesimal parallelograms as the fundamental unit instead of infinitesimal squares, as both can tile the plane both should be valid in principle). The standard dxdy has no nice way of handling anything other than perpendicular axes natively, but with the wedge product
      dx∧dy = dx×dy = sin(ϕ)dxdy
      we can handle it easily. This is the same answer you'd get through the Jacobian, but presupposing that would somewhat be circular logic.
      Now, with that established, deriving the Jacobian is a straightforward exercise in algebra. The entire reason that the Jacobian feels like a leap is because this entire backstory I presented here is swept under the rug and only implicit in the Jacobian. This means that you are indeed taking a leap as none of this is ever explained.
      We know that we can swap from Cartesian to polar, therefore x = x(r, θ) and therefore dx = ∂x/∂rdr + ∂x/∂θdθ is the total derivative, and same for y. For the integral, we already directly substitute for x and y, so why don't we also just substitute for dx and dy directly too?
      ∫f(x, y)dx∧dy= ∫g(r, θ)(∂x/∂rdr + ∂x/∂θdθ)∧(∂y/∂rdr + ∂y/∂θdθ)
      Where g(r, θ) = f(x(r, θ), y(r, θ)) is just what you get from plugging in polar coordinates into your original function. This looks like a mess, but it's honestly not that bad. The wedge product distributes like an ordinary product would, so expanding using the distributive law gives something which has the form
      Adr∧dr + Bdr∧dθ + Cdθ∧dr + Ddθ∧dθ
      for the stuff from the brackets. Each of the terms A, B, C and D are just products of partial derivatives. Now a straightforward consequence of the wedge product is that dx∧dx = -dx∧dx = 0. This means that the A term and D term disappear from the expansion, and we are left with only B and C. We also note that since dr∧dθ = -dθ∧dr, we are overall left with the term (B-C)dr∧dθ, so the integral becomes
      ∫g(r, θ) (B-C)dr∧dθ
      and if we evaluate B we get ∂x/∂r ∂y/∂θ and C we get ∂x/∂θ ∂y/∂r which is exactly what you get from the Jacobian method.
      This is all perfectly explained extremely directly if you use the proper wedge product in your integrals. The wedge product makes the absent terms disappear and inserts the correct sign in front of C.
      The last thing missing is the absolute value. This is again needed because of the missing wedge product. Since drdθ has no orientation information, we must have ∂(x, y)/∂(r, θ) = ∂(x, y)/∂(θ, r). But algebraically this clearly isn't the case, so to sidestep this issue we throw out all orientation information and focus solely on the magnitude, which is what the absolute value does. With the wedge product, we instead would need to have ∂(x, y)/∂(r, θ)dr∧dθ = ∂(x, y)/∂(θ, r)dθ∧dr, which is automatically true because both minus signs on the RHS cancel out. So there's no need for an arbitrary absolute value.
      For the life of me I don't know why this isn't taught like this. It's not like any of this is any more difficult than standard multivariable calculus coursework.

    • @afroohar
      @afroohar Год назад +25

      ​ @Bryte H
      I think the signed aspect isn't crucial to understand the Jacobian determinant. Neither really is the formalism of the wedge product (yes it becomes handy in dimensions greater than two, but the fundamental intuition can be garnered by just considering examples in R^2)
      I think a simple explanation for calc 4 students just involves them understanding a bit of linear algebra. The central intuition is that we are transforming a vector of variables (x,y) to another vector of variables (r, theta). This is a non-linear transformation, but since it is differentiable, locally, within a small range (x,y) to (x+dx,y+dy), the transformation is linear. A linear transformation can be described as a matrix, that matrix is the Jacobian. This can also be seen by introducing to students the multivariable Taylor expansion, showing that the Jacobian is the first term, analogous to a simple derivative, but for more general transformations from R^n to R^m
      Now that we know the Jacobian is the transformation that takes tangent basis vectors x,y to r,theta, a natural question is what happens to the area under such a transformation. Here is where you introduce to students the idea of a determinant as a signed scale factor for areas under linear transformations. The signed aspect can be understood by giving students a couple simple examples (does the transformation flip the orientation of the basis vectors?)
      In many ways it is just a more general, multi-dimensional, form of "u-substitution" students are already intimately familiar with.

    • @Zxv975
      @Zxv975 Год назад +10

      @@afroohar ​ Yes, the Jacobian can be explained in a consistent way through what you just described. I just don't see how this is a *better or more intuitive* explanation than simply including orientation in 2D+ integration (something we know it's supposed to have anyway) and doing basic algebra to get the answer we expect. Everything falls out for free, and orientation doesn't really make things more difficult. Doing mental gymnastics and bookkeeping to avoid orientation is significantly more confusing.
      At least in my personal experience, even though I learned the Jacobian explanation you described in 2nd year uni, because I could never just derive it directly it never stuck with me. If I was expected to substitute x and y and I could come up with expressions for dx and dy, then why couldn't I just directly substitute dx and dy?! "Am I doing something wrong?" "Do differentials not obey algebra?" I had vague notions of 2D Infinitesimal area elements and sometimes remembered there was an absolute value in the formula for some reason, but the fact that none of it seemed like a proper, direct generalisation from the 1D case (where does the absolute value come from...?) meant it was hopeless for me to properly and intuitively grasp it. As a result, I also failed to grasp all subsequent ideas like Green's theorem and Divergence theorem because of the shaky fundamentals. They all seemed like disconnected ideas and I am heavily against rote learning. Maths is beautiful and connected, and if I couldn't see the connection between ideas then I must not be looking hard enough, or I must be misunderstanding something. I blamed myself for not being smart enough, but in reality that disconnect was just an artefact of the poor framework I had been taught. Under a more suitable framework they're all just various expressions of Stoke's theorem, but that's completely non-obvious without the wedge product.
      Now, there are obviously applications where having an orientation agnostic definition of 2D integration is useful, but it should be understood that those are a specific case and that's not the most general rule. In the same way that
      ∫f(x)|dx|
      is sometimes a useful quantity to calculate for certain applications (it's useful for measure theory, for example, where you are largely interested in non-negative quantities), it is *not* the most general 1D integral and shouldn't be treated as such. Many students carry an implicit and incorrect assumption that 2D+ integrals don't inherently include orientation, and it's not until much later (or never, in the case of many engineering and non pure math streams) in a course on differential geometry where we correct the misunderstanding. Why wait that long? Why not just show the proper, most general framework from the beginning? Especially if that framework is a direct generalisation of the 1D case, it allows the results to be obtained easily through basic algebra *and* it fundamentally links all of the other topics (Stokes, Divergence, Green's theorems) covered in multivariable calculus course in a unified framework?
      Honestly, the explanation I suspect is status quo and legacy. We teach multivariable calculus and differential geometry as two artificially disconnected subjects because we've always done it that way and existing textbooks are written assuming it will be taught that way. Imo that's a very poor reason.

    This is a truly fantastic video, with great explanations and animations to match. The only part I don't understand is as follows: Why do you keep referring to this as a "volume double integral" at say 10:37, when you are actually simply computing the area of a circle, hence the double (not triple) integral?

    For a lark I put the double integral in rectangular coordinates into wolframalpha and it produced 18π or ~= 56.549
    I computed the double integral with polar coordinates on my hp-prime and I get the same answer that wolframalpha gave above: 18π

    since you're taking the absolute value of the determinant, the order of the rows and columns doesn't matter. All that matters is that the old coordinates are in the "numerators" and the new coordinates are in the "denominators", and that the variables line up.

    • @maxvangulik1988
      @maxvangulik1988 Месяц назад

      in summary:
      •det(A^T)=det(A)
      •det(A but with 2 rows or columns swapped)=-det(A) but since we're taking the absolute value it's fine
      •det([a/c a/d;b/d b/c]) and det([b/c a/d;a/c b/d]) are unrelated to det([a/c a/d;b/c b/d]) so make sure they line up

    • @maxvangulik1988
      @maxvangulik1988 Месяц назад

      this reflects the fact that the order of the differentials doesn't matter, as long as the order of the integrals matches them correctly. dxdy=dydx

    The extremely simpler method of calculating the volume is worth noting: integrate the circular area along the z-axis.
    Integral [0 -> 9] (pi * (9-z) dz)

    Why the determinant?
    IIRC because (in 3D) it corresponds to the triple product and thus the volume of the differential element relative to the volume of the untransformed differential element.

  • @alazrabed
    @alazrabed Год назад

    My first approach was to calculate dx then dy and express the product in terms of the new variables r an theta, and their differentials dr and dtheta -- just like doing a standard change of variables.
    The result I find almost looks like the correct Jacobian sandwiched in between the desired differential. But I find an extra term which is a function of theta -- and that's not coherent because, by symmetry, the Jacobian has to be invariant by rotation.
    The details of my calculation (theta is noted as t for simplicity):
    dx = dr.cos(t) - r.dt.sin(t)
    dy = dr.sin(t) + r.dt.cos(t)
    dx.dy = r.dr.dt.[cos²(t) - sin²(t)] + [a bunch of higher order differentials]
    dx.dy = r.dr.dt.cos(2t)
    When integrating, the cos(2t) term just gives 0 -- another hint of incoherence.
    So where's the blunder?

  • @RAyLV17
    @RAyLV17 7 месяцев назад

    Does the Jacobian (scaling factor) always exist within the integral expression when we're changing the coordinate system?
    For example if I am "changing" the coordinates from x-y to y-x, the Jacobian should just be 1, since there isn't going to be any shearing or change in shape of the plane.

  • @alphalunamare
    @alphalunamare Год назад

    I can't say I like determinants, they seem like a frig that works. This video is great at explaining the purpose of the Jacobian but having to recourse to old, dry and mysterious determinants is opaque. Is there a modern, more intuitive way of expressing the way the Jacobian is calculated?

  • @valentinlishkov9540
    @valentinlishkov9540 5 месяцев назад

    Issue:
    What is a differential of an irrational argument?
    Let a= some rational approximation, and A be the irrational number itself (if that makes sense).
    Then A - a > dA and there is no way a + dA > A
    can there be a length commensurate with all lengths (differential of length)?
    then all numbers would be rational
