2.2 New variable sets and functions<br />
2.2.1 Change of variables<br />
<strong>in</strong>troduction of a new variable<br />
– given a function f(x, y)<br />
– the variable x is changed to z with the substitution x = x(z, y)<br />
– the new function is<br />
ˆf(y, z) := f ( x(y, z), z ) (9)<br />
derivatives respect to the new variable<br />
– (partial) differentiat<strong>in</strong>g (9) respect to z<br />
– rearrang<strong>in</strong>g:<br />
∂ z ˆf|y = ∂ x f| y · ∂ z x| y<br />
∂ x f| y = ∂ z ˆf| y<br />
∂ z x| y<br />

– special case z = f<br />
∂ x f| y = 1<br />
∂ f x| y<br />
derivatives respect to the rema<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g variable<br />
– (partial) differentiat<strong>in</strong>g (9) respect to y:<br />
– us<strong>in</strong>g (10):<br />
– rearrang<strong>in</strong>g:<br />
– special case z = f<br />
∂ y ˆf|z = ∂ x f| y · ∂ y x| z + ∂ y f| x<br />
∂ y ˆf|z = ∂ z ˆf| y<br />
∂ z x| y<br />
· ∂ y x| z + ∂ y f| x<br />
∂ y f| x = ∂ y ˆf|z − ∂ yx| z<br />
∂ z x| y<br />
· ∂ z ˆf|y (11)<br />
∂ y f| x = −∂ y x| f · ∂ x f| y<br />
