Vector bundles arise in geometry in several contexts. One may remember from the study of smooth manifolds that the notion of tangent bundle inevitably appeared as a powerful tool of differential geometry.
If the dimension of a manifold M is k then the dimension of the total space of the tangent bundle to M is twice as big. The first and simple example arises when we take M = R k . Here the tangent bundle is just the direct product of two copies of R k . So, T R k = {(x, y); x, y ∈ R k }.
