Using the theory on differentiability for the properties of differentiability on surfaces

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
  1. A parametrization of a surface is differentiable. Here we are saying that the parametrization XUR2VS 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:UR3 the parametrization. In fact, Y is noting the restriction of X into the codomain. Because Y arrives to a surface, Y is differentiable if iY:UR3 is smooth. But this map is just X, which it is smooth because is the second property of a parametrization.
  2. The inverse of a parametrization is differentiable. Here we mean X1:VUR2 is differentiable. Now X1 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 X1Z is smooth for some parametrization of S. Here we take Z=X. Then X1X is the identity map on the open set U, which is trivially smooth.
