Abstract
In our preceding two papers we have developed synthetic differentialsupergeometry up to the basic theory of differential forms. In this paper we givethe notion of connection, as well as its accompanying notions of connection formand curvature form, superized in our synthetic context, and establish the secondBianchi identity synthetically.
