Submanifold - Submanifolds of Euclidean Space

Submanifolds of Euclidean Space

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:

    “I would have broke mine eye-strings, cracked them, but
    To look upon him, till the diminution
    Of space had pointed him sharp as my needle;
    Nay, followed him till he had melted from
    The smallness of a gnat to air, and then
    Have turned mine eye and wept.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
