I am currently reading through differential geometry as a mathematics graduate. Can somebody give me a brief explainer on the purpose of connections? I could also use explainers on differential forms. ...

Let $(M,g)$ be a Riemannnian manifold and let $f:\Sigma\to M$ be a smooth immersion. Then the vector bundle $f^\ast TM\to\Sigma$ has a natural bundle metric and metric-compatible connection. Can one ...

Let $E \rightarrow M$ be a vector bundle over a smooth manifold $M$ and let $g$ be a bundle metric. Does there exists a conection (maybe unique) $\nabla$ which is compatible with $g$. By this I mean: ...
