Definition

Given a calculus field? $F$ of scalars and a type of indices $I$, one could define a calculus vector space? $V \coloneqq F^I$ with a basis vector function $e:I \hookrightarrow V$. Let $f:V \to F$ be a differentiable scalar function, and given an index $i:I$, the partial derivative $\partial_{i}$ is pointwise defined as
