By evaluating expression (25.30) in an arbitrary basis (which might not even be a coordinate basis), derive Eq. (25.50) for the components of the Riemann tensor. In your derivation keep in mind that commas denote partial derivations only in a coordinate basis; in an arbitrary basis they denote the result of letting a basis vector act as a differential operator [cf. Eq. (24.34)].
