The easiest definition of the tangent space is as the dual
of the cotangent space.
The easiest definition of the tangent space at a point of a C manifold is as the dual
of the cotangent space at that point.



We need the geometrical definition here for Ck manifolds, and the definition via derivations. Vector fields and tangent bundles should be mentioned.
