Several students gave answers like A function taking some vector v R n and producing some vector w R m Besides not eing a complete sentence, this is wrong! The student who gave this answer may have een thinking of matrix multiplication But a mapping from [ R] n to R m need not e given y x x 2 matrix multiplication; for example, consider the mapping y y 2 In any case, defining a linear transformation y saying that it is given y matrix multiplication really egs the question, ecause it does not explain why matrix multiplication is linear The correct answer was given y another student in the class: A linear transformation T : R n R m is a mapping R n R m such that for all a, R n, T a + )=T a)+t ), and for all a R n and all scalar r, T r a) =rt a) Linearity, and the approximation of nonlinear mappings y linear mappings, is a key motif of this ook You must know the definition, which gives you a foolproof way to check whether or not a given mapping is linear 137 It is enough to know what T gives when evaluated on the three standard asis vectors 1, 3 1 1 1 2 The matrix of T is 2 3 1 1 1 1 1, 131 Set fa) =A 1 and ga) =AA + A A Then F = f g, and we wish to compute [DF A)]H =[Df ga)]h =[DfgA))][DgA)]H =[DfAA + A A)] [DgA)]H }{{} new increment for Df 1) Rememer see Example 1717) that we cannot treat Equation 1) as matrix multiplication To treat the derivatives of f and g as matrices, we would have to identify Mat n, n) with R n2 ; the derivatives would e n 2 n 2 matrices Instead we think of the derivatives as linear transformations

First, if we use the position of one, we cannot use the x coordinate of any of the others why?) But how aout x 1 and y 2,y 4? Do these specify a unique position? This is harder to see Clearly x 1,y 2 and y 4 with

4 oth y s small) specify a unique position of x 2 and x 4 close to the original position But this leaves two positions of x 2 close to the original The situation is similar for the other vertices Finally, one coordinate for each vertex We cannot use the x-coordinates of two vertices, ecause that would allow us to put them closer together or further apart than is allowed We cannot use all four y-coordinates, as once we have found one position, we can translate it horizontally to find infinitely many positions with the same y-coordinates Finally, we must investigate the case of one x- coordinate and three y-coordinates The three y-coordinates determine three of the points, and the fourth must lie on the intersection of two circles, which intersect in two points, oth close to the original point 523 By Definition 3116, S is not a parametrization, ut it is a parametrization y the relaxed definition of a parametrization, Definition 523 See the discussion at the eginning of the section) It is not difficult to show that S is equivalent to the spherical coordinates map using latitude and longitude Definition 416) Any point Sx) is on a sphere of radius r, since r 2 sin 2 ϕ cos 2 θ + r 2 sin 2 ϕ sin 2 θ + r 2 cos 2 ϕ = r 2 Since r, the mapping S is onto The angle ϕ tells what latitude a point is on Going from to π, it covers every possile latitude The polar angle θ tells what longitude the point is on; going from to 2π, it covers every possile longitude However, S is not a parametrization y Definition 3116, ecause it is not one to one Troule occurs in several places If r =,Sx) is the origin, regardless of the values of θ and ϕ Forθ, troule occurs when θ = and θ =2π; for fixed r and ϕ, these two values of θ give the same point For ϕ, troule occurs at and π; ifϕ=π, the point is the south pole of a sphere of radius r, regardless of θ, and if ϕ =, the point is the north pole of a sphere of radius r, regardless of θ By Definition 523, S is a parametrization Put simply, the troule occurs only on a set of 3- dimensional volume In the language of Definition 523, for ϕ for r for θ {}}{{}}{{}}{ M = R 3, U = [, ) [, 2π] [,π], X = {} [, 2π] [,π] [, ) {,2π} [,π] }{{}}{{} troule when r= troule when θ= or θ=2π [, ] [, 2π] {,π} }{{} troule when ϕ= or ϕ=π Thus troule occurs on a union of five surfaces, which you can think of as five sides of a ox whose sixth side is at infinity The ase of the ox lies in the plane where r = ; the sides of the ase have length π and 2π respectively The ase of the ox represents the set laeled troule when r = Two parallel sides of the ox stretching to infinity represent the set laeled troule when θ = orθ = 2π The other set of parallel sides represents the set laeled troule when ϕ = orϕ = π By Proposition 436 and Definition 521, these surfaces have 3-dimensional volume Next let us check condition 4 of Definition 523), that the derivative is one to one for all u in U X This will e true Theorem 485) if and only if the determinant of the derivative is not The determinant is ) = det det DS r θ ϕ sin ϕ cos θ r sin ϕ sin θ rcos ϕ cos θ sin ϕ sin θ rsin ϕ cos θ rcos ϕ sin θ = 2r 2 sin ϕ, cos ϕ r sin ϕ which is only if r =,ϕ=orϕ=π, which are not in U X Next, we will show that S :U X) R 3 is of class C 1 with locally Lipschitz derivative We know the first derivatives exist, since we just computed the derivative They are continuous, since they are all polynomials in r, sine, and cosine, which are continuous see Theorem 1528 on comining continuous

functions) In fact, S :U X) R 3 is C, since its derivatives of all order are polynomials in r, sine, and cosine, and are thus continuous We do not need to check anything aout Lipschitz conditions ecause Proposition 271 says that the derivative of a C 2 function is Lipschitz Finally, we need to show that SX) has 3-dimensional volume If r =, then S r θ is the origin, ϕ whatever the values of θ and ϕ If θ = we have S r = ϕ x, z)-plane If θ =2π, we get the same surface If ϕ =,weget and if ϕ = π, we get the z-axis going from to r r sin ϕ r cos ϕ r 637 a) The asis v 1, v 2 is direct for V oriented y dx dz since dx dz 1, 1 1 = det =2 1 2 1 2 5, which is a surface in the, the z-axis going from to, ) The asis w 1, w 2 is also direct since dx dz 2 3, 1 2, 2 1 = det =14 4 5 4 5 2 1 Since w 1 =2 v 1 3 v 2 and w 2 = v 1 +2 v 2, the change of asis matrix is, with det +7 3 2 c) The determinant is 1/7, the inverse of the determinant in part ) This uses Theorem 4811) We can also do it y direct computation: [ since ] v 1 =2/7) w 1 +3/7) w 2 and v 2 = 1/7) w 1 +2/7) w 2, 2/7 1/7 the change of asis matrix is, with determinant 1/7 But this is unnecessary work 3/7 2/7 6317 a) The form ω does not orient M Here are two solutions Computational solution: Parametrize the circle centered at 3 3 + cos θ y θ A vector in the tangent space to this sin θ sin θ circle can e written, and cos θ sin θ xdy ydx) = 3 + cos θ) cos θ sin θ sin θ) =3cosθ+1 cos θ So ω vanishes on the tangent space to the circle at θ = arccos 1/3) More elegant solution: [ As ] seen in the figure elow, at two points on C 2, the tangent spaces to C 2 consist of radial vectors x x At those points, ω does not orient C y 2, since xdy ydx =xy xy = y
