Jacobian

Consider the coordinate transformation

To find its Jacobian using Maple use

with(linalg):                           
m := jacobian( [u^2 - v^2, 4*u*v], [u,v] );         the jacobian matrix
j := det(m);                                        the jacobian determinant
Similar syntax works for transformations in three or higher dimensions.
