Problem 1-A

Let M 1 ⊂ R A and M 2 ⊂ R B be smooth manifolds. Show that M 1 × M 2 ⊂ R A × R B is a smooth manifold, and that the tangent manifold D ( M 1 × M 2 ) is canonically diffeomorphic to the product D M 1 × D M 2 . Note that a function x ↦ ( f 1 ( x ) , f 2 ( x ) ) from M to M 1 × M 2 is smooth if and only if both f 1 : M → M 1 and f 2 : M → M 2 are smooth.
