Mar 08, 2017 related differential geometry news on. However it helps having a good imagination, to picture things in 3 dimension and possibly 4 dimension and a good supply of pipe cleaners. The push forward acts on curves vectors and contravariant tensor, the pull back acts on functions, covectors, pforms and covariant tensor. So far weve been thinking about the differential in a very geometric way.

If you have fixed coordinates then the jacobian matrix is the matrix of the pushforward. This is not a book on classical differential geometry or tensor analysis, but rather a modern treatment of vector fields, pushforward by mappings, oneforms. So to push forward a vector field we say the action of v on any function is simply.

That is, the distance a particle travelsthe arclength of its trajectoryis the integral of its speed. This is closely related to the algebraicgeometric approach, except that the infinitesimals are more implicit and intuitive.
