List of coordinate charts

ID: list-of-coordinate-charts

In differential geometry, a **coordinate chart** is a mapping that defines a particular way of describing points in a manifold in terms of coordinates. A coordinate chart is essentially a homeomorphism from an open subset of the manifold to an open subset of Euclidean space. Together, a collection of coordinate charts that covers a manifold forms an **atlas**.
