Description Geometrical concepts induced by a smooth mappings f: M -> N on manifolds with linear connections are introduced, especially the (higher order) covariant differentials of the mapping tangent to f and the curvature of a corresponding tensor product connection. As an useful and physically meaningful consequence a basis o differential invariants for natural operators of such smooth mappings is obtained for metric connections. A relation to geometry of Riemannian manifolds is discussed.
