Abstract
Our strategy is to define the notion of vector bundles and principal bundles in an invariant way by only using geometric properties of manifolds. In order to prove further geometric properties of these manifolds (e.g., curvature or parallel transport), we use the fact that, by definition, these properties do not depend on the choice of local bundle coordinates. Therefore, we can pass to special bundle coordinates. This is the situation of product bundles considered in Sects. 15.1 through 15.3. This way, the general results are immediate consequences of our special results about product bundles.
