This lecture delves into the concept of tangent spaces as collections of free directions of movement on embedded submanifolds. The instructor explains how the kernel of the differential of a local defining function at a point captures the idea of linearization, providing a geometrically satisfying notion of linearization for embedded submanifolds.
