Exercise 0.1.

Determine the normal invariant,

$\displaystyle \eta_{X \times Y}(f \times g, b \times c \colon M \times N \to X \times Y) \in [X \times Y, G/O],$ $$\displaystyle \eta_{X \times Y}(f \times g, b \times c \colon M \times N \to X \times Y) \in [X \times Y, G/O],$$

in terms of $\eta_X(f, b)$$\eta_X(f, b)$ and $\eta_Y(g, c)$$\eta_Y(g, c)$.
