This is especially useful when the initial set is not equipped with a topology.

In this respect, the following lemma provides a welcome shortcut: in brief it says that given a set with suitable ``charts'' that overlap smoothly, we can use those to define both a topology and a smooth structure on the set.
Let $M$ be a set. Assume that we are given a collection $\{U_\alpha\mid\alpha\in A\}$ of subsets of $M$ together with bijections $\varphi_\alpha: U_\alpha\to\varphi_\alpha(U_\alpha)\subseteq\R^n$, where $\varphi_\alpha(U_\alpha)$ is an open subset of $\R^n$. Assume in addition that the following hold:

\item For each $\alpha, \beta\in A$, the sets $\varphi_\alpha(U_\alpha\cap U_\beta)$ and $\varphi_\beta(U_\alpha\cap U_\beta)$ are open in $\R^n$.

We are already half-way through: we are going to show that the coordinate charts $(U_i, \varphi_i)$ defined above are, in fact, all smoothly compatible.

Without loss of generality, let's assume $i>j$.

The atlas defined by the collection $\{(U_i, \varphi_i)\}$ is called \emph{standard atlas} and makes $\RP^n$ a smooth manifold.

The choice of a smooth atlas, ensures that we only select a family of charts whose transition maps, as euclidean functions, are smooth.

This warrants the definition of a new type of map that extends the notion of homeomorphism from topological manifolds to smooth manifolds.
