Lie Groups and Lie Algebras, chapter III, § 2. Group of tangent vectors to a Lie group

Let X be a manifold of class C^r and m a law of composition of class C^r on X. If m is associative (resp. commutative), then T(m) is associative (resp. commutative).

If m is associative, then m∘(m×IdX)=m∘(IdX×m)m \circ (m \times \mathrm{Id}_X) = m \circ (\mathrm{Id}_X \times m), whence

T(m)∘(T(m)×IdT(X))=T(m)∘(IdT(X)×T(m))T(m) \circ (T(m) \times \mathrm{Id}_{T(X)}) = T(m) \circ (\mathrm{Id}_{T(X)} \times T(m))

and hence T(m)T(m) is associative. Let ss be the mapping (x,y)↦(y,x)(x, y) \mapsto (y, x) of X×XX \times X into X×XX \times X. If mm is commutative, then m∘s=mm \circ s = m and hence

T(m)∘T(s)=T(m). T(m) \circ T(s) = T(m).

But T(s)T(s) is the mapping (u,v)↦(v,u)(u, v) \mapsto (v, u) of T(X)×T(X)T(X) \times T(X) into T(X)×T(X)T(X) \times T(X). Hence T(m)T(m) is commutative.

Bourbaki puts the proof directly after the statement, so what is above is the statement and its proof together.
