    Dis-ambiguate: derivative of a vector field Y on a curve is the covariant of Y

    In the "Relevant equations" section I meant to say "Ybar composed with 'a' equals Y," not the other way around.

    Dis-ambiguate: derivative of a vector field Y on a curve is the covariant of Y

    Homework Statement This two-part problem is from O'Neill's Elementary Differential Geometry, section 2.5. Let W be a vector field defined on a region containing a regular curve a(t). Then W(a(t)) is a vector field on a(t) called the restriction of W to a(t). 1. Prove that Cov W w.r.t...
