When solving integration problems, we make appropriate substitutions to obtain an integral that becomes much simpler than the original.
For example, homogeneous equations can be transformed into separable equations and bernoulli equations can be transformed into linear equations. By convention, \u\ is often used the new variable used with this change of variables technique, so the technique is often called usubstitution. Lets return to our example in which x is a continuous random variable with the following probability density function. Change of variables is an operation that is related to substitution. The sides of the region in the x y plane are formed by temporarily fixing either r or. X and y are said to be jointly normal gaussian distributed, if their joint pdf.

Then for a continuous function f on a, zz a fdxdy b f. The idea is to make the integral easier to compute by doing a change of variables. In fact, this is precisely what the above theorem, which we will subsequently refer to as the jacobian theorem, is, but in a di erent garb. Since the change of variables is linear, we know know that it maps parallelograms onto parallelograms.
It is usually more straightforward to start from the cdf and then to find the pdf by taking the derivative of the cdf.
