| Aug 12, 2010 at 12:00 | comment | added | j.c. | It seems that what you're trying to pin down is the tangent bundle of a smooth manifold - as a side point, though you specify vector fields "in the sense of advanced calculus rather than say, abstract manifolds", the rest of your discussion on trying to understand changes of coordinates is precisely the motivation to study manifolds in general. John M. Lee's book "An Introduction to Smooth Manifolds" is a book I liked which ought to shed light on what you've asked. | |
