week 11

This week we finished the introductory discussion of curvature (ch. 4) and started on Jacobi fields (ch. 5).  This is fundamental for the understanding of the geometric relationship between geodesics and curvature - hence for the rest of the course.

Exercises for next week:  ch 5:  1, 2, 6, 7
