summary

This article explores the concept of the Jacobian, a mathematical tool used in various fields such as physics and economics. It explains why mathematicians are fascinated by Jacobians and why they are considered valuable. The author discusses how understanding Jacobians can lead to breakthroughs in problem-solving and mathematical modeling. Additionally, the article highlights the mathematicians' desire to preserve and protect the knowledge and understanding of Jacobians, creating a sense of exclusivity and scarcity around this mathematical concept.
