I need help trying to understand what (S1) and (S2) are saying. Maybe in other words or pictures because the book is more confusing 3.1.1. Let M CR" be a nonempty set and 1 s k n. Then k . Then...
3.1.1. Let M CR" be a nonempty set and 1 s k n. Then k . Then M is a -dimensional regular surface (briefly, regul each point xo there ar kf class CP (p)i nd amapping of class C e M there exist an open set AC such that (SI) there exists an open set U in Rn such that φ(A)-Mn U, xo E φ(A), and is a homeomorphism; (S2) for each t E A, dp(t): IRR" is injective. The pair (A, p) is called a chart or local coordinate system (Fig. 3.1). The mapping φ is a parameterization, and φ(A) 1s a coordinate neighborhood of xo. A family {(Ai, фі)he/ of coordinate systems with the property that IE ! is called an atlas of M The condition (S1) is equivalent to the following (SI): xo E φ( at φ1s continuous, and for each open set BCA there is an open set V C R" such Indeed, let us assume that condition (S1) holds and fix an open set B C A. Since 0. A 9(A) is a homeomorphism, it follows that o(B) is open in ф(A) for the relative topology. Hence there is an open subset W C Rn such that
