need help with heavy stuff. I am defining the derivative as a linear transformation between tangent spaces. so im defining tangent spaces which i need to prove the ten axioms.. need help please

OpenStudy (anonymous):

please elaborate

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what u mean elaborate?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

"I am defining the derivative as a linear transformation between tangent spaces. so im defining tangent spaces which i need to prove the ten axioms" does it make any sense to you?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

tangent space as a set of linear approximation of all tangent vectors

OpenStudy (anonymous):

tangent vector can be defined at a point in a vector space, as a order of n-tuples v_p= 〖{a_(1,)…,a_(n,)}〗_p in which exist a parameterized curve c:I→R^n which derivative at 0 have the property c(0)=p and c^' (0)=v_p=〖{a_(1,)…,a_(n,)}〗_p.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Because in the world of tangent spaces we are working with the properties of vector spaces, vectors in the tangent spaces must satisfy the two operations: i) Vector addition. ii) Scalar multiplication and 10 axioms.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the first one, i need to prove that when i take two vector spaces in a tangent space and i add them, their sum must be also in the tangent space

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so you have to prove all ten?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yea **crying** i have the idea... but no the knowledge

OpenStudy (anonymous):

:(

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh wow.. imagine my level.. i am not even in a four year school

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i made this class honor,, and now im dying

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh wow.... well thanks for trying tho

OpenStudy (anonymous):

cooal stuff there, if only i had no reason to celebrate life would i go to wikipedia and sit for the next 2 hours to grasp what tangent spaces are and answer your question

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but that certainly is not the case so sorry , http://maths.stackexchange.com/

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what do u mean storm?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i mean its too high level

OpenStudy (anonymous):

PS did u check that site PSS my name is stom, without any r

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its a cool, site isnt it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes... what is this site about?

OpenStudy (mathmate):

I thought there are only 8 axioms to verify a vector space, four for addition and four for multiplication. Can you tell me the two others?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the clousures

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if u and v are in W then u + v is in W if u is in W and k is any scalar then ku is in W

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that site is about asking hard question in maths

OpenStudy (mathmate):

So you must have worked on other vector spaces before, have you started on the axioms yet? Which one(s) do you have problems with?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i didnt start yet.. i dont know how... because they are not vector spaces anymore,,, they are tangent spaces

OpenStudy (mathmate):

How is the tangent space defined?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i defined them above

OpenStudy (mathmate):

Can you give examples of some vectors as per the definition? Does the zero vector exist? Does the negative vector exist? Is the zero vector in the space?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh wow those are the axioms....if i could give u examples i will be able to prove

OpenStudy (mathmate):

How do you define the tangent vectors, by directional derivatives?

OpenStudy (mathmate):

I suggest you repost as: "linear transformation between tangent spaces" and perhaps someone else can better spot your post.
