Fiber bundle

A Manifold defined over another Manifold with a projection whose fibers are Vector spaces.

See definition here.

Generalizes constructions like the Tangent bundle

Algebraic operations on vector bundles

Can generalize a lot of algebraic operations on Vector spaces to Vector bundles over manifolds. In particular, we can generalize:

The fibers of all these vector bundles correspond to the corresponding vector space operations on the fiber of the original vector bundles.
