- Let `` p `` be an element of type M , which is defined by some assignment of numbers `` x_1,..., x_m `` ,
51
- say `` (x_1,..., x_m) = (a_1,...,1_m ) ``

The tangent space acts linearly on the space of functions. They act as usual on functions. Our starting point is
57
57
that we know how to write down `` d/dx(f) = df/dx `` .

The collection of tangent spaces `` {T_pM} `` for `` p\in M `` is called the _ tangent bundle_ of `` M `` .

Let `` df `` denote the first order information of `` f `` at each point. This is called the differential of `` f `` .
62

If the derivatives of `` f `` and `` g `` agree at `` p `` , we say that `` df `` and `` dg `` represent the same cotangent at `` p `` .

- The covectors `` dx_1, ... , dx_m `` form the basis of the cotangent space `` T^*_pM `` at `` p `` . Notice that this vector space is
64
- dual to `` T_p ``
