In mathematics, particularly in the context of differential geometry and topology, a **connection** refers to a way of specifying a consistent method to differentiate vector fields and sections of vector bundles. It essentially allows for the comparison of vectors in different tangent spaces and enables the definition of notions like parallel transport, curvature, and geodesics within a manifold.
