Definition
Let $M$ and $N$ be differentiable manifolds.
Let $f: M \to N$ be continuous.
Let $p \in M$.
Definition 1
$f$ is differentiable at $p$ if and only if for every pair of charts $\struct {U, \phi}$ and $\struct {V, \psi}$ of $M$ and $N$ with $p \in U$ and $\map f p \in V$:
- $\psi \circ f \circ \phi^{-1}: \map \phi {U \cap \map {f^{-1} } V} \to \map \psi V$
is differentiable at $\map \phi p$.
Definition 2
$f$ is differentiable at $p$ if and only if there exists a pair of charts $\struct {U, \phi}$ and $\struct {V, \psi}$ of $M$ and $N$ with $p \in U$ and $\map f p \in V$ such that:
- $\psi \circ f \circ \phi^{-1}: \map \phi {U \cap \map {f^{-1} } V} \to \map \psi V$
is differentiable at $\map \phi p$.
