Problem 1.11

Let M = 𝔹 ¯ n , the closed unit ball in n . Show that M is a topological manifold with boundary in which each point in 𝕊 n 1 is a boundary point and each point in 𝔹 n 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 𝔹 n . [Hint: consider the map π σ 1 : n n , where σ : 𝕊 n n is the stereographic projection (Problem 1-7) and π is a projection from n + 1 to n that omits some coordinate other than the last.]
