**Jacobian Computation:**
- **PlusJacobian**: Finite difference w.r.t. `delta` parameter
- **MinusJacobian**: Finite difference w.r.t. first argument `y`
- Epsilon: `1e-8` for numeric differentiation

### 14.3. P/Invoke Compatibility

**C# Marshalling:**
- Callbacks: `[UnmanagedFunctionPointer(CallingConvention.Cdecl)]` delegates
- User data: `IntPtr` with `GCHandle` pinning
- Similar pattern to `AutoDiffCostFunction`

**Status:** ✅ **P/Invoke Ready**

### 14.4. Use Cases

**Cartographer:**
- ConstantYawQuaternion manifold for IMU-based pose extrapolation
- Custom manifolds for specialized optimization problems

**General:**
- Any custom manifold that doesn't fit standard types (Quaternion, Sphere, Line, Euclidean, Subset, Product)

### 14.5. Testing

**Test Coverage:**
- ✅ Create/destroy
- ✅ Dimension verification (ambient_size, tangent_size)
- ✅ Plus operation (via Problem integration)
- ✅ Minus operation (via Problem integration)
- ✅ Problem integration (SetManifold, HasManifold, GetTangentSize)

**Test Example:**
- Euclidean manifold: `Plus(x, delta) = x + delta`, `Minus(y, x) = y - x`

**Status:** ✅ **Tested**
