If people are interested, I would be happy to give a 1-2 hour exposition on Saturday afternoon, the day before the "Irvine-Munich Workshop on the Foundations of Classical and Quantum Field Theories", covering the basics of the geometry of tangent bundles. I offer this for both selfish and altruistic reasons. Selfishly, the more knowledgeable the audience is about this stuff, the less time I will have to spend in my actual talk on Sunday reviewing it. Altruistically, it is a beautiful field of geometry that is woefully unknown among philosophers, physicists and mathematicians in general, especially shameful in light of the fact that it is the basis for Lagrangian mechanics, and I feel it is my duty to spread the Good Word. So: if you're interested, please let me know. If there is a critical mass of interested people (say, 4 or more), then I'll do it, and send out a general announcement with time and place.
