 # Manifolds, Charts, and Atlases
 
 To construct grids on more complicated geometries we use manifolds described
-by one or more charts. The charts describe a mapping from a logical parameter space
-to the geometry that we are interested in. If there are more than one chart
-for a given geometry this collection of charts and how they are connected is
-described by an atlas.
+by one or more charts. The charts describe a mapping from a logical parameter
+space to the geometry that we are interested in. If there are more than one
+chart for a given geometry this collection of charts and how they are
+connected is described by an atlas.
+
+We consider a mapping from the logical coordidinates ``\xi \in \Xi`` to the
+physical coordinates ``x \in \Omega``. A `Chart` describes the mapping by a
+`ParameterSpace` respresenting ``\Xi`` and some mapping object that takes
+arguments ``\xi \in \Xi`` and returns coordinates ``x\in\Omega``. The mapping
+object can either be a function or some other callable object.
 
 For the construction of differential and difference operators on a manifold
-with a chart the library needs to know the Jacobian of the mapping as a
-function of coordinates in the logical parameter space. Internally,
-Diffinitive.jl uses a local Jacobian function, `Grids.jacobian(f, ξ)`. For
-geometry objects provided by the library this function should have fast and
-efficient implementations. If you are creating your own mapping functions you
-can implement `Grids.jacobian` for your function or type, for example
