Why is the exponential map clearly the identity map for $mathbb R^n$?
$begingroup$
Suppose that $M$ is a smooth Riemannian manifold, $qin M$. There exists an $epsilon$ such that $exp_q:B_{epsilon}(0)rightarrow M$ is a diffeomorphism.
In DoCarmo’s Riemannian Geometry book, it has been written that for $M=mathbb R^n$, this map $exp_q$ is the identity map, while $exp_q(v)=q+v$. So what does DoCarmo mean?

What's your definition of the tangent space $T_qmathbb{R}^n$?

I identify it with $mathbb R^n$ itself. Why?

Some people think in $T_qmathbb{R}^n$ as the affine space $q + mathbb{R}^n$ with the linear structure $(q+v)+(q+w)=q+(v+w)$ and $lambda (q+v)=q+lambda v$ for every $v,winmathbb{R}^n$ and $lambdainmathbb{R}$.
