What about connexion is it a different spelling of different meaning (for diff geom it is an alternative spelling). Maybe it should be glued together???

No, connexion is the older (and grammatically correct) spelling of connection. There is no difference in meaning, it's just not that many people know about it as it's not often used. Morrad 22:16, 1 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Connexion is the right spelling. Note to all foreign students of good English; just as the verb "complect" goes to the noun complexion, so goes connect to connexion. Did you ever read or write complection? Of course not. "Connection" is a corn pone sort of word.86.42.193.249 (talk) 12:59, 21 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Splitting this page into sections

[edit]

It looks to me that there could be a better way of arranging this page, like splitting it into sections or something. But I find this quite challenging. Any idea for a better organization of this page? Oleg Alexandrov 18:30, 5 Mar 2005 (UTC)

[edit]

I guess this page should have a link to the maths articles for "connection" (I'm thinking of Levi-Civita connection and so on...)
