Change of Variables

Multivariate calculus from first principles

This last lesson ties the course's two halves together. When you change variables in an integral by substituting x = g(u), you have to account for how the substitution stretches space. That stretch factor is the Jacobian determinant from Module 3, so the final formula is where the course's derivatives and integrals finally meet.
