= Maps of manifolds
{wiki=Maps_of_manifolds}
In the context of differential geometry and topology, "maps of manifolds" typically refers to smooth or continuous functions that associate points from one manifold to another. Manifolds themselves are mathematical structures that generalize the concept of curves and surfaces to higher dimensions. They can be thought of as "locally Euclidean" spaces, meaning that around any point in a manifold, one can find a neighborhood that looks like Euclidean space.
