At any chosen point take normal coordinates for , so there. Substitute into the stated Riemann curvature tensor formula and subtract the original curvature. At that point the mixed products with vanish and ordinary derivatives of equal its covariant derivatives. The result isIn unit-weight antisymmetrization notation this is . Every term is a tensor, so the identity established in normal coordinates holds in every coordinate system.
