A map $f: X \to Y$ between two topological spaces $(X,\cT)$ and $(Y, \cU)$ is called:
\begin{itemize}
\item \emph{continuous} if $U\in\cU$ implies that $f^{-1}(U)\in\cT$, that is, preimages of open sets under $f$ are open;
\item \emph{homeomorphism} if it is bijective\footnote{I.e., a one to one correspondence. Formally it means that it is both injective and surjective.} and continuous with continuous inverse.\marginnote{The existence of a homeomorphism between two spaces can be thought as those spaces being equivalent in a loose sense: they can be deformed continuously into each other.}

Given two manifolds $(M_1, \cA_1)$ and $(M_2, \cA_2)$, we can define the \emph{product manifold} $M_1 \times M_2$ by equipping $M_1 \times M_2$ with the product topology\footnote{Open sets in the product are generated by products of open sets from the respective topological spaces.} and covering the space with the atlas $\{ (U_1\times U_2, (\varphi_1, \varphi_2)) \;\mid\; (U_1, \varphi_1)\in\cA_1, (U_2, \varphi_2)\in \cA_2\}$.

Instead of always constructing a topological manifold and then specify a smooth structure, it is often convenient to combine these steps into a single construction.
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.

This map is well--defined because its value is unchanged by multiplying $x$ by a non-zero constant.
Moreover, $\varphi_i$ is continuous and invertible, the inverses can be computed explicitly\footnote{Check that the composition $\varphi_i \circ \varphi_i^{-1} = \id$. What happens if you define $\widetilde\varphi^{-1}_i(y^1, \ldots, y^n) := \left[y^1, \ldots, y^{i-1}, 42, y^{i+1}, \ldots, y^n\right]$, what would the corresponding $\widetilde\varphi_i$ be?} as

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 $i>j$.
Then, a brief computation shows

\varphi_j\circ\varphi_i^{-1} & (y^1, \ldots, y^n) \\
& = \left(\frac{y^1}{y^j},\ldots,\frac{y^{j-1}}{y^j},\frac{y^{j+1}}{y^j},\ldots,\frac{y^{i-1}}{y^j},\frac1{y^j},\frac{y^{i+1}}{y^j}, \ldots, \frac{y^n}{y^j}\right),
