Variable change in multiple integrals: polar coordinates at zero.

47 Views Asked by At

We can make a variable change if we have some diffeomorphism $\phi$. A usual variable change is polar coordinates. But when $\rho = 0\quad |\phi'| = 0$, so $\phi$ is not a diffeomorphism if our region contains $0$. But anyway we do change and integrate. Why can we?
