and barycentric coordinates.  This is easy because we know the

Compute the local corrections in local coordinates on the tangent bundle now, instead of using the embedding in the surrounding space

For this now the TangentVector class of S^n has only n components,
while the EmbeddedTangentVector class still has n+1.
The code around it needs to be fixed accordingly.
