Abstract
The pace of this chapter is rather slow for the simple reason that the definition of smooth manifold is itself forbidding for many unfamiliar readers. Although many young university students feel comfortable with the early parts of multivariable calculus, if one feels uncomfortable, then he should go first through some parts of Chap. 3. How verifications are done in various examples of smooth manifolds is a crucial thing to learn for a novice, so this aspect has been dealt here with some more detail.
