A differentiable structure on a manifold is a way of defining how to differentiate functions on that manifold, allowing us to consider smooth functions and smooth transitions between charts. This structure is crucial because it enables the application of calculus in more abstract settings, which can then be connected to important concepts like submanifolds, examples of manifolds, partitions of unity, and embedding theorems.
congrats on reading the definition of Differentiable Structure. now let's actually learn it.
