A C<TEX>$\^$</TEX><TEX>$\infty$</TEX>/ manifold is a pair (M, C) where a) M is a Hausdorff topological space such that every point <TEX>$\chi$</TEX><TEX>$\in$</TEX>M has a neighborhood homeomorphic to an open subset of R<TEX>$^n$</TEX>. b) C is a collection of these homeomorphisms whose domains cover M. If ø, <TEX>$\psi$</TEX> <TEX>$\in$</TEX> C then ø o <TEX>$\psi$</TEX><TEX>$\^$</TEX>-1/ is C<TEX>$\^$</TEX><TEX>$\infty$</TEX>/. c) C is maximal with respect to (b).(omitted)
