Exercise 5.1 page 123 (Note that the sphere S2 has a unique (up to a diffeomorphism) smooth structure, so if you establish that a smooth manifold is homeomorphic to the 2-sphere, then it is diffeomorphic to the two sphere. Also one of the ways to show that what you get is homeomorphic to the sphere is to use Euler characteristic.)
