    Example of differentiable manifold of class C^1

    Hello, I read from several sources the statement that the set of points M\inℝ2 given by (t, \, |t|^2) is an example of differentiable manifold of class C1 but not C2. Is that true? To be honest, that statement does not convince me completely, because in order for M to be a manifold, we should...
