I was looking for exactly this only hours ago, and did not know exactly how to phrase it in my google search. Such a bizarre coincidence.
From page 8:
"The manifold assumption is powerful because it lets us
translate many of the things we know how to do in flat Euclidean spaces (e.g., work with vectors,
differentiate, integrate, etc.) to more interesting curved spaces."
To be clear, it's not that I have worked with this in the past and merely forgot or something like that. I was thinking about linear transformations and essentially had the idea of taking that power to curved spaces and had no clue what would get me there or if that was even possible. Thank you for posting this. You saved me a lot of trouble.
I keep finding that Google keeps getting worse at these types of queries. I wonder what kind of metrics would incentivize Google to be better at finding these.
Try to find this article without filtering for hackaday domain and not using the exact title. tl;dr of article - these are triangle / wedge shaped stencil holes for SMD surface mount soldering on square / rectangular pads.
