Can someone explain to me in simple terms what a non-linear transformation is in maths?

I know some single-variable calculus, but I read it has to do with multi-variable calculus, which I'm not familiar with.

If someone could explain it in simple words, that would be helpful.

    A transformation which is not linear. Do you understand the definition of a linear transformation? It has nothing to do with whether you are working with one or many variables; for example, the transformation which sends x to x^2 is not linear.2010-08-05

    Is it possible the OP is after an explanation of 'differentiable' in a multivariable setting?2010-08-05
