The parameter derivative of the Koszul expression #
Let b_s be a one-parameter family of fields of bilinear forms on TM, jointly C² in (s, x)
as a map into the bundle of bilinear forms on TM, with parameter derivative h = ∂ₛ b. This file
proves that the Koszul expression TauCeti.Manifold.koszulBilinear of b_s on vector fields that
are C² at x is differentiable in s, with derivative the Koszul expression of h. Symmetry,
nondegeneracy and finite dimensionality are not needed. The proof commutes the parameter derivative
with the differentials of the pairings, TauCeti.Manifold.hasDerivAt_mvfderiv_apply_apply.

The Koszul expression K_{b_s}(X, Y, Z) at x of a family of fields of bilinear forms,
jointly C² at (t, x), is differentiable in the parameter at t, for vector fields X, Y, Z
that are C² at x.
Variation of the Koszul expression. Let b_s be a family of fields of bilinear forms on
TM, jointly C² in (s, y) at (t, x), with parameter derivative h = ∂ₛ b at s = t near
x. Then for vector fields X, Y, Z that are C² at x, the parameter derivative of the
Koszul expression K_{b_s}(X, Y, Z) at x is the Koszul expression K_h(X, Y, Z) of h.
