An introduction to how the jacobian matrix represents what a multivariable function looks like locally, as a linear transformation.

[@raybroomall8383]

Reference to a "last video" is 'Local linearity for a multivariable function' Many years ago, back when Fortran was the coolest thing you could find in a computer I tried to understand what linear algebra. Back then it was hoped that if you kept solving enough problems that sooner or later the light would go on and you would know it all. as it turned out my light was a small flickering candle. I'm 70 this year and now I have the time to take a closer look at the beauty of math.Thanks for presenting concepts rather than processes. Khan and 3b1b rock.

[@danielc4267]

It is helpful for intuition to multiply df1/dx at 2:37 by 1. df1/dx is a rate and you need to multiply it by 1 to give you the x-output of the unit vector (1,0). Note that the first column of the Jacobian represents what the unit vector (1,0) becomes after the transformation.

[@aSeaofTroubles]

That is only true if the local linear approximation is still valid at further distances. Let me explain some more: The columns in the matrix track where the points (x_o+dx, y_o) and (x_o, y_o+dy) are mapped with respect to where (x_o, y_o) is mapped. For example, f(x_o+dx, y_o) - f(x_o, y_o) is the distance between (x_o+dx, y_o) and (x_o, y_o) after being mapped. This is simply our Jacobian times (dx, 0). Since the second entry is zero, we only recover (df_1/dx) + (df_2/dx), which by the chain rule is simply the total derivative of f with respect to x. Likewise, we can show the Jacobian times (0, dy) is the total derivative of f with respect to y. So the Jacobian matrix is mapping *differential* vector quantities that are in the direction of our original basis vectors. We can think of these differential vectors dx and dy as our new basis! But if we choose a basis that is very small, we better make sure our transformation returns a number that isn't very small too. This is why we can imagine "normalising" by the small quantities "dx" and "dy" in the bottom of our matrix. In a normal transformation matrix, we know the denominator is simply "1". But since our function isn't actually linear, we do not have the luxury of using such a simple basis. We can only act on small vectors accurately, so we re-scale :)

[@joshace5988]

Legend! you explained that so well

[@SB-zv9ls]

Simply awesome. I wish we could give him Nobel prize or something.

[@fritzzz1372]

This closely relates to divergence and curl. If you, from the final matrix (The Jacobian) add the top left and bottom right entry ( the partial derivative of x with respect to x and the same for y), you get the divergence. If you subtract the top right entry from the bottom left one (subtract the partial derivative of x with respect to y from the partial derivative of y with respect to x), you get the curl.

[@avneeshkhanna]

Great video! However, I have a doubt. When you were tracking that yellow square, the grid lines transformed like a linear transformation. However, the grid itself translated to another coordinate [near (-1, 0)]. Since we know that translations are NOT linear transformations, then how can we say that the grid represents linear transformation?

[@palantea1367]

He's not considering that translation, he's just considering the linear transfromation around (-2,1). It's like when we are on earth, we don't consider that earth is moving when we are doing some physics calculations.

[@hektor6766]

At about 1:20, you can see he selects -2,1 on the original matrix. That selected point moves to near -1,0 after the various partial transformations performed throughout the video.

[@SohamChakraborty42069]

I have a question here, which kind of seems to be self-explanatory, but it would still be nice to get some confirmation. Is local linearity a property of every point in every transformation? The reason is ask this is that due to non-differentiability at some points we may not be able to calculate the value of some of the partial derivatives for certain kind of functions. How should this be interpreted ?

[@Cessedilha]

Locally linear = differentiable. If it's not differentiable at a certain point, this means that it can't be locally approximated by a linear transformation, and vice versa.

[@SohamChakraborty42069]

[@hr2441]

I am totally confused......

[@solsticetwo3476]

So, how to know when is a transformation and when is a vector field?

[@douglasmangini8744]

It depends on how you see the input space, that is, if it's filled with vectors (things that can be added to each other and scaled by numbers) or dots (simple pairs of numbers that cannot be added or scaled). If you think about vectores, then it's a transformation, like those you see in Linear Algebra, but this time they are not necessarily linear. If you think the function is mapping dots to vectors, then it's a vector space. But I think that Grant's point in this course is that those are two complementary ways of seeing the same thing, it's just that the transformation has this agile nature of taking vectors from one place to another, while vector spaces are more static.

Partial derivatives represent rate , but i dont really get it. The values in the matrix should represent coordinates of where basis vectors land. Can someone make this clear

[@jordanjacobson6046]

Well, each of the partial derivatives will give you a function that tells you the rate of change of one function with respect to another, and when we evaluate it at a specific point, its going to tell us what that change was. That's the important part, and he said it, that we have to evaluate it and it will just turn into a matrix with numbers in it instead of functions.

[@robmarks6800]

What bothers me is that the non linear transformation translates a point to another. But this is never captured by the jacobian matrix. Why isnt the translation important?

[@joluju2375]

Same problem here. I hoped the next video "Computing a Jacobian matrix" would clarify that and answer this question, but nope. What is missing here is a real example of how the use of the jacobian matrix would give a satisfying solution to a problem otherwise too complicated. So far, the best I can understand is that the Jacobian matrix can simplify determining what's happening to the *neighborhood* of the point by using only linear functions, but I can't imagine a situation where I would need that. Finally, my best bet is that I missed something important.

[@TBadalov]

Confused after transformation of the graphics :(

[@aSeaofTroubles]

Perhaps my explanation to Daneil C above may help! We are mapping small changes (dx, 0) and (0, dy) to small changes of f using the chain rule! J (dx, 0) = df_1/dx + df_2/dx But this is just the total derivative of f with respect to x by the chain rule. Likewise for (0, dy) = total derivative of f with respect to y. So, locally, we know how far we would move from the point we are evaluating if we took small steps.

[@snehasishchowdhury6900]

Does Jacobian matrix has some sence for a linear transformation because there we don't need to zoom?

[@jamesedwards6173]

Any possible linear transformation of x and y can be conceptually represented as shown in the video by the matrix (with a-f being constants): [ ax+by+e] [ cx+dy+f ] (As should be expected, these are just equations for lines.) What happens if you apply the Jacobian to this matrix? It reduces to precisely the linear transformation matrix that's normally used to transform (x,y) points: [ a b ] [ c d ] Why is this so? Why is it just constants? ... Because the Jacobian expresses how much a transformation is "changing things locally", and a _linear_ transformation changes the entire transformation space in exactly the same way (which is why lines stay parallel, and whatnot). In other words, it does not vary; it stays constant. It is comprised entirely of uniform scaling and shearing (and potentially translating). In short, the reason the (general, i.e., unevaluated) Jacobian shown in the video varies from point to point is _because_ the functions selected for the transformation were *not* linear (sine and cosine). If they were linear, the resulting matrix would have simply been full of constants.

[@Cessedilha]

The Jacobian matrix is a linear approximation. For a linear transformation (matrix multiplication), the Jacobian would be the linear transformation itself. Kind of what happens in 1-d derivation, when multiplying a constant by x the derivative is the constant itself.

Shouldn't the origin also remain fixed? Won't we also need the information of where the origin movess? Just recording the information in a 2 X 2 matrix seems insufficient. So

[@doaby3979]

Harish D Keep in mind that when using this matrix, we’re only focusing on local points surrounding the point we originally focused on, not the grid as a whole. The fact that we’re taking partial derivatives automatically encapsulates this idea of locality. Also, the origin in this example moves because the matrix transformation isn’t linear.

[@MrBemnet1]

send me a message if any one doesn't understand the concept

[@RCPN]

Why did we divide delf1 and delf2 with delx and dely? I understood that the x component would be delf1 and y component would be delf2, but then we divide it with dely and delx.... Why

[@Cessedilha]

The reason is that in the approximation the Jacobian is multiplied by the vector [delx,dely]. If the vector was [1,1] you'd be correct that it should be just delf1 and delf2. Think that the approximation (taking some liberties with notation) is dF = J*dX, where F is the vector of the function and X is the vector with the variables.
