Hi All,
There was a mistake in HW9, Q8 which is fixed now.
To summarise:
1. Two manifolds M and N intersect transversely at a if the span of
TM_a and TN_a is all of \R^d.
2. The previous version of the homework said M and N intersect
transversely at a if every tangent vector in TM_a is orthogonal
to every tangent vector in TN_a. (A better name for this is
intersect orthogonally; the standard definition of transverse
intersection is the above.)
(It's also worth doing Q8 and finding conditions for orthogonal
intersections of manifolds as well.)
Best,
Gautam
