Lecture Notes 10: Change of Variables and Triple Integral

This document discusses change of variables and triple integrals. It defines the Jacobian of a change of variables and provides examples of calculating Jacobians for polar coordinates and affine maps. It also defines triple integrals over rectangular boxes and general regions, and discusses evaluating triple integrals using Fubini's theorem or changing variables. Examples calculate triple integrals over regions like a tetrahedron or ball.

Change of Variable

Theorem 1 (Change of Variables). Let D and D? be elementary regions in R2 and let T : D?


D be a C 1 , one-to-one map such that T(D? ) = D. For any integrable function f : D R,

is called the Jacobian of T.


Example 2 (Polar Coordinates). Let T(r, ) = (r cos , r sin ) be the mapping that defines the
polar coordinates. This is a one-to-one map from [r1 , r2 ] [1 , 2 ] to its image if 0 < r1 < r2
and 0 1 < 2 < 2. Its Jacobian is r.
Definition 3 (Affine Maps). A map T : R2 R2 defined by

b2
is called an affine map. If b1 = b2 = 0, it is also called a linear map.
Example 4. Calculate the Jacobian of an affine map.
Theorem 5. Let Tu = Au + b be an affine map and det(A) 6= 0. Then
(a) T is one-to-one.
(b) T maps lines to lines, parallel lines to parallel lines.
(c) T maps a parallelogram to a parallelogram.
(d) Its inverse T1 u = A1 u A1 b is another affine map.
Example 6. Let F be an affine map and D? = [0, 1] [0, 1], f = C. Check theorem 1.
