Elementary Differential Topology
Change of variables is a mathematical technique used to simplify integrals by substituting one set of variables for another. This method is particularly important when dealing with integrals on manifolds, as it allows us to relate different coordinate systems and compute integrals more easily. By transforming the variables, we can take advantage of the structure of the manifold and the properties of differential forms to make integration manageable.
congrats on reading the definition of change of variables. now let's actually learn it.
