ยง The grassmanian, handwavily

The grassmanian is a manifold consisting of, roughly, kk dimensional subspaces of an nn dimensional vector space. Here, I'll record derivations of how we represent grassmanians, the exponential map, logarithm map, and the parallel transport with "physicist style" reasoning. Really, one needs to be careful because the grassmanian is a quotient of the non-compact steifel manifold, so we need to be careful about choosing representatives and whatnot. However, nothing beats physicist reasoning for intuition, so I'm going to do all the derivations in that style. [TODO ]
