    Graduate Pullback of F on Manifolds: What Matrix Do We Take Determinant Of?

    Ok, thank you for your answer. But answer me please two last questions that arose. I deduce that these partial derivatives are defined, but they are vague in the sense, that $$x^i , y^i$$ are both functions the derivatives depend on. Is it the interest to leave them this vague or does one insert...

    Graduate Pullback of F on Manifolds: What Matrix Do We Take Determinant Of?

    Hey, we had in the lecures the following: Let M and N be smooth manifolds, and dim(M)=dim(N)=n, while $$x^i$$ and $$ y^i$$ are coordinate functions around $$p\in M$$ respective $$F(p) \in N$$, then we get for the pullback of F Which entries has the matrix we take the determinant of? I thaught...

    Undergrad Differential of the coordinate functions

    Hello folks, I'm glad that I discovered this forum. :) You might save me. I'm hearing right now differential geometry and am having some problems with the subject. May you explain me the follwoing. We had the special case of the i-th projection. My lecturer now posited that the differential of...
