Manifolds are often defined as embedded submanifolds of Euclidean space Rn, so this forms a very important special case. By the Whitney embedding theorem any second-countable smooth n-manifold can be smoothly embedded in R2n.

Famous quotes containing the word space:

    “... the movie woman’s world is designed to remind us that a woman may live in a mansion, an apartment, or a yurt, but it’s all the same thing because what she really lives in is the body of a woman, and that body is allowed to occupy space only according to the dictates of polite society.”
    —Jeanine Basinger (b. 1936)
