Tangent Vectors as Derivations
Statements
Theorem. The mapping between the Euclidean Tangent Space at and the set of all derivations at , i.e., the vector-valued function defined as
\phi:&T_p(\mathbb{R}^n)&\to&\mathcal{D}_p(\mathbb{R}^n)\\ &v&\mapsto&D_v=D(p)v \end{array}$$ is an [[isomorphism]] between vector spaces. ## References [[Tu, L. W. - An introduction to manifolds|@Tu11 Section 2.3]]
