Problem 1.11
Let , the closed unit ball in . Show that is a topological manifold with boundary in which each point in is a boundary point and each point in is an interior point. Show how to give it a smooth structure such that every smooth interior chart is a smooth chart for the standard smooth structure on . [Hint: consider the map , where is the stereographic projection (Problem 1-7) and is a projection from to that omits some coordinate other than the last.]
