Statement

Let M and N be differential manifolds of dimensions m<n. Let f:M→N be a differentiable map between them. Let p∈M be a point such that f is an immersion at p -- in other words, the induced map dfp is injective. Then, there exists a neighbourhood U∋p in M and V∋f(p) in N, and a choice of coordinate charts, such that the restriction of f to U, viewed using those coordinate charts, is a map of the form:

(x1,x2,…,xm)↦(x1,x2,…,xm,0,0,…,0)
