(For those who have studied multivariable calculus.) Let Tbe an invertible linear transformation fromto, represented by the matrix M. Letbe the unit square in andits image under T . Consider a continuous functionfromto, and define the function. What is the relationship between the following two double integrals?
and
Your answer will involve the matrix M. Hint: What happens when, for all?

If an matrixAis invertible, then there must be an sub matrix of(obtained by deleting a row and a column of) that is invertible as well.
