| Oct 21, 2010 at 6:02 | comment | added | Juan OS | I believe the answer to my question is well outlined by Greg; Milnor is defining the function via the coordinate charts, and $u''$ is not a coordinate change but rather a way to simplify notation. Adressing the remarks Greg makes about how Milnor came up with this function, I believe you can get a more general picture by reading the latter article "Differentiable structures on spheres", where Milnor uses rotation groups to construct higher dimensional examples. | |
