Holonomy and curvature may seem to be slightly advanced topics in geometry. However, their origins are easily imaginable. Namely, picture the surface of earth $S$, and pick an arbitrary contractible ...

Consider a vector bundle $V\to E\to X$ with fiber $V$, with structure group $G$, and $X$ path-connected. Consider a connection $\nabla$ on $E$. Then for any loop $L$ in $X$, based at $p$, we have a ...
