This is a simple problem but I am confused about the results.

Suppose the $f:\mathbb{R}^2\longrightarrow\mathbb{R}^2$ is a differentiable mapping in $\mathbb{R}^2$ such that $\det(d_pf)\neq 0$ for all $p\in\mathbb{R}^2$. Has the mapping $f$ an inverse?. If it is not true, what conditions would lack for it to be?.

    I changed \mathrm{det} to \det. One of the differences is that proper spacing before and after $\det$ is automatic in expressions like $5\det A$.2012-11-10

It is false. Consider the exponential function $f:\mathbb{C}\to\mathbb{C}$, $f(z)=e^z$.
