The inverse function theorem for everywhere differentiable maps

Reblogged from What's new:

The classical inverse function theorem reads as follows:

Theorem 1 ($latex {C^1}&fg=000000$ inverse function theorem) Let $latex {\Omega \subset {\bf R}^n}&fg=000000$ be an open set, and let $latex {f: \Omega \rightarrow {\bf R}^n}&fg=000000$ be an continuously differentiable function, such that for every $latex {x_0 \in \Omega}&fg=000000$, the derivative map $latex {Df(x_0): {\bf R}^n \rightarrow {\bf R}^n}&fg=000000$ is invertible. Then $latex {f}&fg=000000$ is a local homeomorphism; thus, for every $latex {x_0 \in \Omega}&fg=000000$, there exists an open neighbourhood $latex {U}&fg=000000$ of $latex {x_0}&fg=000000$ and an open neighbourhood $latex {V}&fg=000000$ of $latex {f(x_0)}&fg=000000$ such that $latex {f}&fg=000000$ is a homeomorphism from $latex {U}&fg=000000$ to $latex {V}&fg=000000$.

How to use RacyPy or WaryPy.

1. Download the .iso.

2. Download and install DVD Decrypter (or use you favourite .iso burning software).

3. Right click on the .iso file and choose "Burn with DVD Decrypter.

4. Reboot your PC. It should boot from the CD, if it doesn't do this by default, look for a message telling you what to press for boot options (often F2 or F9).
