coordinate chart

Noun

 * 1)  A homeomorphism from a local neighborhood around a point on a topological n-manifold in a Banach space to an n-dimensional Banach space (typically a subspace of the space the manifold is embedded in).

Usage notes

 * Some authors refer to the pair of the neighborhood the mapping is defined on and the mapping together (i.e. $$(U, \varphi)$$ instead of $$\varphi$$, where $$U = \operatorname{dom}(\varphi)$$) as the coordinate chart while referring to the mapping alone as the coordinate map.
