Definition

For each [ilmath]n\in\mathbb{N} [/ilmath] the Euclidean space [ilmath]\mathbb{R}^n[/ilmath] is a smooth [ilmath]n[/ilmath]-manifold with the smooth structure determined by the atlas determined by the single chart [ilmath](\mathbb{R}^n,\text{Id}_{\mathbb{R}^n})[/ilmath]

This structure is the standard smooth structure on [ilmath]\mathbb{R}^n[/ilmath] and the resulting coordinate map yields the (so called) standard coordinates[1]

The only standard thing is that we deal with them already
