Tangent vector to a manifold

TODO what's the point of it.

  * https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oxB4aH8h5j4 actually gives a more concrete example. Basically, the vectors are defined by saying "we are doing the <Directional derivative> of any function along this direction".

    One thing to remember is that of course, the most convenient way to define a function $f$ and to specify a direction, is by using one of the <coordinate charts>.

    We can then just switch between charts by change of basis.
