| Apr 8, 2015 at 21:28 | comment | added | Steven Gubkin | Your point about the derivative is excellent. I kept running into this problem in an online multivariable calculus class I wrote (ximera.osu.edu/course/kisonecat/m2o2c2/course/), but I did not think of the affine space formalism. I should probably go back and make a little more explicit in the presentation. I was always thinking ``tangent bundle with flat connection'' in my head, but affine space seems like a better choice at this level. | |
