| 11. | All curves through point p have a tangent vector, not only world lines.
|
| 12. | This allows tangent vectors to be classified into timelike, null, and spacelike.
|
| 13. | The Riemann tensor is a multilinear operator of fourth rank acting on tangent vectors.
|
| 14. | This angle is equal to the angle between the tangent vectors to the curves.
|
| 15. | Volume forms and tangent vectors can be combined to give yet another description of orientability.
|
| 16. | To do this we first define an equivalence relation on pairs of timelike tangent vectors.
|
| 17. | The magnitude of the tangent vector,
|
| 18. | The unit tangent vector taken as a curve traces the spherical image of the original curve.
|
| 19. | Where { \ mathbf T } ( s ) is the tangent vector of the curve.
|
| 20. | Such tangent vectors are said to be "'parallel transports "'of each other.
