TL;DR
Forms and basis in TpC (page 18)
Hi All!
First of all , sorry for my English :)
In Bachman's book, on page 18, a vector in the tangent space is written in the form dx(0,1)+dy(1,0). Why is it not written the other way around, so why isn’t dx(1,0)+dy(0,1) the correct expression? Thank you.

It looks like a typo.

Thanks a lot!
 
Differential geometry is a difficult subject that lacks "easy" pedagogical examples. However, using GNU/Linux tools, as I attempt to demonstrate in my web page, differential geometry can be easily explored so as to attain a thorough understanding of its principles. "A picture is worth a thousand words" is the old adage and it does indeed apply to differential geometry.
