We follow the book introduction to smooth manifolds by john m. Differentiable manifolds and differentiable structures 11 3. This formalizes the fact that the notion of manifold is a generalization of euclidean space. For example, in the application of manifold theory to general relativity, spacetime is thought of as a 4dimensional smooth manifold that carries a certain. Riemannian manifolds are di erentiable manifolds, hence the usual notions of multivariable calculus on di erentiable mani folds apply derivatives, vector and tensor elds, integration of dif ferential forms.
