The Jacobians 2/N \x, y) \u, v are reciprocal each to each; and this rela-tion may be regarded as the analogy ofthe relation (4) of § 2 for the case ofthe function y = (x) and the solutionx = fiy) = <£-1(#) in the case of a singlevariable.

If the rule for multi-plying determinants is unfamiliar, the Jacobians may be written and multipliedwithout that notation and the reduction may be made by the same formulas asbefore. To establish the formula for the differential of arc it is only necessary to writethe total differentials of dx and dy, to square and add, and then
