Introduction to Fiber Bundles Part 3: Associated Bundles and Amalgamated Products
This is an incomplete introduction here. The basic idea is that the associated principal bundle knows all. This should be obvious since all bundles with G-structure are classified by H^1(X,G) --- it turns out you can recover your original bundle from a principal bundle by taking "amalgamat

Introduction to Fiber Bundles part 1: Definitions
We give the definition of a fiber bundle with fiber F, trivializations and transition maps. This is a really basic stuff that we use a lot. Here are the topics this sets up: *Associated Bundles/Principal Bundles *Reductions of Structure Groups *Steenrod's Theorem *Torsor structure on arith

What is a Manifold? Lesson 12: Fiber Bundles - Formal Description
This is a long lesson, but it is not full of rigorous proofs, it is just a formal definition. Please let me know where the exposition is unclear. I din't quite get through the idea of the structure group of a fiber bundle fully, but I introduced it. The examples in the next lesson will h
From playlist What is a Manifold?
In this video, I define connectedness, which is a very important concept in topology and math in general. Essentially, it means that your space only consists of one piece, whereas disconnected spaces have two or more pieces. I also define the related notion of path-connectedness. Topology

The TRUTH about TENSORS, Part 8: Tangent bundles & vector fields
In this video, we discuss the definition of the tangent bundle of a manifold, which in turns inspires the more general definition of vector bundles, to be discussed in the next video. The notion of tangent bundle, further lets us formalize our intuitive notion of vector fields.

What exactly is a vector? | Arithmetic and Geometry Math Foundations 30 | N J Wildberger
The notion of vector is here made completely explicit. Vectors arise in physics as forces, positions, velocities, accelerations, torques, displacements. It is useful to distinguish between points and vectors; they are different types of mathematical objects. In particular the position of a
