This lecture covers the definition of symmetries on a Riemannian manifold, the existence of a unique Riemannian connection that is symmetric and compatible with the metric, and the fundamental claims in Riemannian geometry. It also discusses the need for a different derivative for vector fields and the Lie bracket. The lecture concludes with the properties of a connection on a Riemannian manifold.
