Almost all properties on the differentiability of maps on surfaces are proved by the analogous properties of differentiable maps between open sets of Euclidean spaces. I point out two of them
- A parametrization of a surface is differentiable. Here we are saying that the parametrization XU⊂R2→V⊂S is differentiable, where V is an open set of a surface S. In order to clarify the notation, we stand for Y the above map, and X:U→R3 the parametrization. In fact, Y is noting the restriction of X into the codomain. Because Y arrives to a surface, Y is differentiable if i∘Y:U→R3 is smooth. But this map is just X, which it is smooth because is the second property of a parametrization.
- The inverse of a parametrization is differentiable. Here we mean X−1:V→U⊂R2 is differentiable. Now X−1 is a map whose domain is a surface, in fact, the open set V of S, which is indeed a surface. By the definition, we have to prove that X−1∘Z is smooth for some parametrization of S. Here we take Z=X. Then X−1∘X is the identity map on the open set U, which is trivially smooth.
