Statement

Let M and N be differential manifolds of dimensions m>n. Let f:MN be a differentiable map from M to N. Let p be a point such that f is a submersion at p, i.e. the induced map on tangent spaces is surjective at p. Then, there exists a neighbourhood Up in M and Vf(p) in N and coordinate charts for U and V such that in those coordinate charts, the map is a projection map:
