2.5 Euler’s Theoremon Homogeneous Functions
2.6 Euler’s Theorem for Second Derivatives
2.7 Jacobians
2.8 Properties of Jacobians
2.8.1 If u and v are Functions of x and y, then (” ¶” (u,v))/(“¶” (x,y)) ´ (“¶” (x,y))/(“¶” (u,v)) = 1
2.8.2 If u and v are Functions of r and s which are Functions of
x and y, then( “¶” (u,v))/(“¶” (x,y))= (“¶” (u,v))/(“¶” (r,s)) ´ (“¶” (r,s))/(“¶” (u,v)) = 1
2.8.3 If u, v, w are Functionally Dependent Functions of Three
Independent Variables x, y, z then (“¶” (u,v,w))/(“¶” (x,y,z)) = 0
2.8.4 If the Transformations x = x(u, v) and y = y(u, v)
are made in the Double Integral òò f (x, y) dx dy, then
f (x, y) = f(u, v) and dx dy = |J| du dv, where J = (“¶” (x,y))/(“¶” (u,v))
