This lecture covers the transformation of coordinates in two dimensions, the Jacobian matrix, and examples of illicit transformations. It explains the geometric interpretation of the Jacobian, conditions for existence of inverse transformations, and the quality of transformations. The slides illustrate deformed geometrically finite elements, negative Jacobian values, and special cases of illegal transformations.
