Barden & Thomas write in An Introduction to Differentiable Manifolds that the set of tangent vectors at 0 in R^m is bijective with R^m?
Why is this the case? Can 0 be replaced by an arbitrary point p of R^m?

Intuitively:
The tangent vector space of a line ($\mathbb{R^1}$) at a point of the line (that can be the origin) is the line itself.
The tangent space of a plane($\mathbb{R^2}$) is the plane itself.
ans so for $\mathbb{R^n}$.....
Any formal definition of the tangent vector space of a variety conserve this intuition.
