  (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.)  Due
