Since differentiability is a \emph{local} property and topological manifolds are \emph{locally} like euclidean spaces, it seems reasonable to expect that we can lift the definitions directly from $\R^n$.
If we are given a continuous map between two topological manifolds, we can locally view it as a continuous map between two Euclidean spaces.
Since differentiability is a \emph{local} property and topological manifolds are \emph{locally} like euclidean spaces, it seems reasonable to expect that we can lift the definitions directly from $\R^n$ using the charts to obtain functions between euclidean spaces:
for example, if we are given a continuous map between two topological manifolds, we can locally view it as a continuous map between two Euclidean spaces.
Generalizing this further, we could conceivably say that our original map is differentiable if the local map is.

\newthought{As usual, the devil is in the details}: a topological manifold is only homeomorphic to a Euclidean space, and a different choice of homeomorphism might affect whether the local map is differentiable or not.

\begin{example}[A different smooth structure on $\R$]
Consider the homeomorphism $\psi:\R\to\R$, $\psi(x) = x^3$.
The atlas consisting of the global chart $\{\R, \psi\}$ defines a smooth structure on $\R$.
The atlas consisting of the global chart $(\R, \psi)$ defines a smooth structure on $\R$.
This chart is not smoothly compatible with the standard smooth structure on $\R$ since $\id_\R \circ \psi^{-1} (y) = y^{1/3}$ is not smooth at $y=0$.
Therefore, the smooth structure defined on $\R$ by $\psi$ is different from the standard one.
You can adapt this idea to construct many different smooth structures on topological manifolds provided that they at least have one smooth structure.

A first observation about our definition of smooth maps is that as one would hope, smooth imply continuity.
For a very simple and familiar example, consider the real valued function $f(x,y)= x^2+y^2$ defined on $\R^2$.
In polar coordinates on $U=\{(x,y)\in\R^2\mid x>0\}$, $f$ has the coordinate representation $\hat f (\rho, \theta) = \rho^2$.
Very often, where there is no ambiguity, we will simply identify $f$ and $\hat f$ and just write ``in the local coordinates $(\rho,\theta)$ on $U$, $f(\rho,\theta) = \rho^2$.''

Two smooth manifolds $M_1$ and $M_2$ are called \emph{diffeomporphic} if there exists a diffeomorphism $F:M_1\to M_2$ between them.
