of a tangent vector to each point of a manifold is called a vector field. Specifically, a vector field on a manifold is a smooth map
:

such that with for every . In the language of fiber bundles, such a map is called a section. A vector field on is therefore a section of the tangent bundle of .

The set of all vector fields on is denoted by . Vector fields can be added together pointwise
