Second covariant derivative

In the math branches of differential geometry and vector calculus, the second covariant derivative, or the second order covariant derivative, of a vector field is the derivative of its derivative with respect to another two tangent vector fields. (Wikipedia).

The true second derivative test

In this video I present the second derivative test in multivariable calculus, which is used to find local maxima/minima/saddle points of a function. However, unlike the nonsense they usually teach in the books, here I'm presenting a more elegant way with some linear algebra blended in. I'm
